Lindy Hop (Level 2): Mixed East Coast Swing

An Improvers (Level 2) class for Lindy Hoppers. “East Coast Swing” was a dance style based on Lindy Hop, but with simplified footwork taught in commercial dance studios in the 1940s. But it has now been assimilated back into modern Lindy Hop, and it’s an incredibly helpful tool. In this “Mixed East Coast Swing” class we will learn both 6-count and 8-Count East Coast Swing steps. It’s fun, easy and makes dancing to faster songs a breeze! As a bonus, learning East Coast Swing moves to mix in to your Lindy Hop will improve your partner connection and movement quality, so it levels up your Lindy Hop technique at the same time! Walk-ins are welcome or pre-book online. Teacher: Sharon Davis, a world renowned swing dancer with 20+ years experience teaching & performing!
