We'll explore basic 8-count moves, discuss the difference between 6-count and 8-count, and culminate with Lindy Hop's most iconic move: the swingout.
Hi there. My name is Chris Ortega. When I went to my first swing dance 3 years ago here in Gainesville, I instantly fell in love with Lindy Hop and swing dancing, and I want to share this awesome dance style with you!!

Mon 27 Sep 2021, 8-10 pm. 8:00 - 9:00 pm Lindy Hop Rhythm & Variations Lesson
9:00 - 10:00 pm Open Practice
"Rock step, triple step, triple step!" A phrase echoed many a time in Lindy Hop lessons, that 6-count basic which we are all familiar with. But what if we varied that 6-count basic and replaced the rock step or the triple step with something else, like a slide for instance? As a lead or a follow, you can play around independently with varying your footwork and throwing in fun rhythm variations while you dance. The ideas for variations of this kind are endless! If this interests you, then this lesson will cover some ideas for variations you can take with you out to the dance floor and provide you with a framework for approaching your own rhythm and variations in Lindy Hop.
Our guest instructor for this lesson is - drum roll, please - Jennifer Fill. Jen was invited to her first Lindy Hop lesson in 2014 and was instantly obsessed with how much fun danc ... UF Campus, J.
