Charleston - Level 1 Swing Series

The KSDA focuses on the swing dance style born in 1930's Harlem from the Black dancers of the Savoy Ballroom, Lindy Hop. If you've attended a beginner drop-in lesson with us, you've done Lindy Hop! Dive into a month of material that progresses every week.

Build off the skills covered in the beginner drop-in classes to expand your repertoire and become comfortable with many types of swing dancing movements. Join us for four 45 minute progressive lessons to help you get comfortable with a wide range of material.

This month will focus on Lindy Charleston moves - typically 8 count patterns with kicking motions. You may want to ditch the leather soled shoes and wear more comfortable clothing for this month. We'll cover all the way from basic side-by-side Charleston, through turns, and to tandem!

All dancers who have attended more than two beginner drop-in classes are strongly encouraged to attend this progressive Level 1 Swing series.

Series classes meet every Wednesday at the Laurel Theater from 7:00 - 8:00 pm. Classes are $8 a night ($2 discount for cardholders) and include admission to the dance. Purchase the month of lessons to receive one week free. Local students can request a free benefit card!
