New to Lindy?
Come join us to start learning the fabulous Lindy Hop!
Classes are drop-in, beginners are very welcome in level 1 each week though if you’ve never danced at all before the first Sunday of the month is perhaps the best for you, as we will build our skills through each month. However just come along and throw yourself in and you’ll be picking it up in no time as we always start from the basics and work our way up each week.
All welcome, no need to book, no partner necessary
Leads and Follows rotate through the class
Any gender can choose to dance any role, we all dance with each other.
Wear comfortable, clean clothes and cushioned non-grippy shoes/plimsolls/trainers. No pointy heels.
What is the Lindy Hop?
Lindy Hop is a partner dance, mostly improvised, using vernacular jazz steps and rhythms, danced primarily to swing music (jazz music). It was created, developed, performed and danced in the Black American communities in Harlem, New York during the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s and 1930s and 1940s, most famously danced at the Savoy Ballroom.
It is a dance with a rich and complex history and culture and is now danced and loved by communities the world over.
Lindy Hop is also great fun and fab exercise for both bodies and minds, and allows us to connect with each other, the rhythm and the music, and let go a little of the worries and concerns of our daily lives.
Hope to see you on a dance floor soon
