Lindy Hop is the original swing dance, an improvisational partner dance that developed alongside swing jazz in Harlem New York. The dance had its heydays in the 30's, 40's and 50's and its still popular all over the world.
This is a small group class which provides a great foundation in the basic rhythms and movements of Lindy Hop. It’s appropriate for complete beginners as well as those with some knowledge of the dance. You don’t need a partner to book on.
