November – Lindy 1 (Week Four)

Discover the heartbeat of Lindy Hop with this series focused on classic Lindy Hop moves such as the Swing Out, Lindy Circle, Sugar Push, Texas Tommy, and so much more! Your teachers Jessie Blake and Eric Recchia will lead you through the technique, rhythm, and joyful energy that bring these classics to life. You’ll strengthen your 8-count footwork and explore the connection, momentum, and flow that make swing outs feel so exhilarating. Whether you’re polishing what you already know or diving in for the very first time, this class will boost your confidence and sharpen your skills. 🎶 ✨ We encourage dancers to take this series more than once — each round offers new “aha” moments and deeper refinement. Even seasoned Lindy Hoppers will find it a great opportunity to tune up fundamentals and reconnect with the roots of the dance. Prerequisite: 2–5 months of beginning swing (or instructor approval). You should feel comfortable with triple steps, basic partner connection, and common moves such as the underarm pass or tuck turn. Not sure if it’s the right fit?
