Prerequisite: No prior experience or partner needed. Absolute beginners are welcome.
We have two types of beginner Lindy Hop courses, one focuses on 6-count Lindy Hop and the other on 8-count Lindy Hop. These are the two main rhythm patterns in Lindy Hop. You can take these courses in either order, or can take them both in the same session. It is all Lindy Hop.
1/2 price if you have taken our Lindy Beginner 8-count course before, in the same role. (Rounded up to a number ending in zero or 5.) We encourage you to take our courses more than once, to learn more thoroughly, to refresh, learn a wider variety of Lindy Hop movement, and for fun. It will never be exactly the same course twice, especially not with different teachers.
Drop-in friendly if you've taken the course before, and for the first class, and if you've taken the previous week's class.
