NOTE 1: Lindy Hop 2 will NOT cover basics of Lindy 1 and it is recommended to be familiar with triple steps, weight shifting, counter balance control & basic fundamentals of Lindy Hop 1 before entering Lindy Hop 2. Gilbert & Hannah will be implementing a new filtering system that will allow them to determine at the beginning of the month which students are ready for the course and which students need to retake Lindy 1 or 1.5. NOTE 2: While these classes are available each week, please know that it takes personal commitment to improve your dancing. This may include self-practice, group practices, or private lessons with instructors. Growth requires pushing your limits & testing your potential. Dance is no exception to this rule.
