COURSE DETAILS
Learn Lindy Hop, the joyful popular swing dance with a rich history, and a growing community of dancers in Toronto and around the world. Come join us, and find out why we are so excited to share this dance with you!
In this course we will mostly do -count Lindy Hop. 6-count and 8-count patterns are the main rhythm patters in Lindy Hop. We also do other rhythm patterns all the time.
You can take our two Lindy Hop beginner courses (one focuses on 8-count, the other on 6-count), in either order, or in the same session of courses. We also offer beginner courses in partner Charleston, which is both part of Lindy Hop, and a dance in its own right.
Once you have done our 6-count and 8-count Lindy Hop beginner courses at least once each, you can take our intermediate 1 courses.
