New 5 Week Series
Thursdays: January 29 - February 26, 2025
We offer three levels for this series. Please read the descriptions below and assign yourself to the appropriate level :)
Each level is the same price ($95) and each includes:
6+ hours of class from 7PM - 8:15PM
5 social dances from 8:15PM - 9:30PM
Level 1 and Level 2 classes are at the 418 Project. Level 3 classes are at the Veterans Memorial Building. All social dances are at the 418 Project.
Note: all classes are focused on Blues, East Coast Swing, or Lindy Hop, NOT West Coast Swing.
If you are new to swing dance (or returning after a hiatus) and want to have fun and meet people, this class is for you!
You will learn to connect with your partner to achieve the tension and compression that makes swing dancing feel so good! You'll also learn a variety of moves, including various tuck turns, pass by's, send outs, and more! Our goal by the end of class is that you are familiar with the fundamentals of Lindy Hop and can incorporate both 6-count and 8-count moves into a single dance, with and without triple steps!
This class will feel challenging at certain points, but is sure to get you dancing!
You must take all three Level 1 modules before progressing to Level 2.
