The sessions are structured with simple lessons and a lot of dance time, so you actually do get to dance. We rotate partners every dance, so you get to dance the same amount as everyone else. Rotating is not required.

The structure of the intermediate to advanced Lindy swing session:

7 to 7:30 - Lindy Swing lesson, mainly teaching, starting with some exercises on basic footwork.

7:30 to 8 - Transition from teaching to structured dancing based on the needs of the class at the time.

8 to 8:30 - Structured dancing with partner rotation so everyone gets to dance the same amount, and some short instructional tips between dances.

No partner needed. Some dance experience needed. If you have no organized dance experience, come to the new beginners class at 6.

Lindy is the mother of all swing dances, the simplest, most varied and most versatile. When you know Lindy, you can expand your repetoire and dance to any swing music on any size floor, no matter how crowded.

Hustle is from the Disco of the 1970s, with a heart pounding (not loud, but steady) beat that keeps you in constant motion. Guaranteed to get your endorphins flowing, keep you smiling and build up your stamina. Among the most exhilirating of social dances.
