Lindy Hop for Beginners – Autumn 2026

Curious about swing dancing? Love jazz and swing music? Want to try something new and meet people while learning to dance?

Join us for a 6-week introduction to Lindy Hop, the energetic partner dance that grew out of the swing era in 1930s Harlem.

Lindy Hop is an energetic partner dance that grew out of the swing era in 1930s Harlem. Over six classes, you’ll learn the fundamentals of Lindy Hop – no previous experience or dance partner required.

No previous dance experience is needed. You don't need to bring a partner either – we'll rotate partners during the classes, so you can come on your own and get to know everyone.

Over six weeks, we'll take you from the very first steps to dancing some of the basic Lindy Hop moves together. We'll focus on rhythm, connection, musicality and, most importantly, having fun with the music.

You can choose whether you'd like to dance as a Leader or a Follower.
