Lindy Hop on Sundays

Come join us to start learning the fabulous Lindy Hop!

Classes are drop-in, beginners should start in level 1 and join us in week 1 (or week 2 if you can’t make week 1) though if you’ve never danced at all before the first Sunday of the month is going to be best for you, as we will build our skills through each month. However just come along and throw yourself in whenever you can make it 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.

🎉 Monthly Dance passes 🎉

Now for beginner dancers the biggest challenge for you might just be turning up to your first class but to get the most out of your experience (and this really applies to all dancers), you really should try a full month of classes; it’s also amazing if at some point you can add some solo jazz in the mix too.

So to encourage you all we introduced monthly dance passes in January and they were so popular we’re keeping them going …

£20 – 3 weekly Lindy Hop classes one level one person one month

£30 – add both Solo Jazz classes to the one level Lindy Hop pass same month

£35 – 6 weekly Lindy Hop classes two levels one person one month

£45 – add both Solo Jazz classes to the two level Lindy Hop pass same month
