Introduction 1.0
These classes are taught at a beginner level. There are no prerequisites and you can take them in either order depending on what fits your schedule. We recommend that you take both before proceeding to the next level.

• 1.0 Lindy Hop – 6 Count
  This class will cover the basics of the 6 count Lindy footwork, how to lead and follow, social dance etiquette and also some 1920’s Charleston. If you have no partner dance experience, this is the class for you. It will get you spinning and swinging in to time.

• 1.0 Lindy Hop – 8 Count
  This class will cover the basics of the 8 count lindy footwork, principles of connection, social dance etiquette and also some 1930’s (Lindy hop) Charleston. Lindy Hop is the original swing dance; it’s energetic, social and a lot of fun!

Lindy Hop Essentials 1.5
You will learn plenty of new moves and tricks as well as how to solidify the basics. Prerequisites: Both of the 1.0 level classes. If you have some social dance experience but have not done Lindy Hop before, this might be a good place to start, just ask us. These classes can be taken in any order, each will be different from one another.
Note: The class titles are abstract and may not represent class content.

• 1.5 (Version 1) “Moves to show your Mom”
  An opportunity to review and improve upon what you learned at level 1.0 and then soar into some great moves that would impress anybody’s mom. You’ll also learn how to execute safe turns and dips that will get you a second dance!

• 1.5 (Version 2) “The W Factor”
  ‘W’ for WOW! Mix things up with more moves to add to your skill set. We’ll work on the concept of lead and follow and how to inspire the person you’re dancing with.

• 1.5 (Version 3) “Lindy Hop like Grandma used to make”
  This class will look at the classic lindy hop moves that have made people hungry for more since the 1930’s. Not to be confused with ‘boring basics’, there is a darn good reason these techniques are here to stay.

Intermediate 2.0
These classes will really push your dancing to the next level. Prerequisites: All 3 versions of 1.5. You will get the most out of 2.0 if you have been social dancing as well as taking classes.

• 2.0 Lindy Hop
  In this class you will learn to make your dancing look like as much fun as it already is. Swivels, big swing outs, subtle lead and follow and much more. This class includes some rhythm variations and styling options.

• 2.0 Charleston
  By the end of this class series you will be able to dance an entire song of Charleston! There will be some review of 20’s and 30’s basics like kick throughs, new variations and turns but the focus of the class will be tandem Charleston, Charleston swing outs and combinations.

OPEN LEVEL
These classes are designed to inspire dancers of all ages, shapes, sizes and ability. Recommended: 1.0 or some other social dance basics (west coast swing, ballroom, latin, etc)

• Balboa
  This dance form came about on the crowded floors of the California Swing era ballrooms. It’s small, it’s fast, it slides and it’s danced very close. Instructors will do their best to cater to all levels of dancers. Get ready!

• Blues
  Learn how to slow dance in style. This dance plays off of connection and has a very basic step. Excellent for the beginner/intermediate level dancer who wants to dance at slower tempos and experiment with musicality. The music is soulful and the dance is simply wonderful.
