Join the Lindy Hop Revolution
Lindy Hop is really growing in the UK. Originating from the 1930’s we wouldn’t really call it a “new” dance craze but it does seem like more and more people are having a go these days. Lindy Hop will even be featured on Strictly Come Dancing this week. If you want to find out what this fantastic partner dance is all about then look no further!
We’ll teach you the basics of Lindy Hop in just one 4-week course! This course will give you a solid foundation in fundamental lindy hop moves and techniques, ideal for people who’ve never danced before. With small class sizes you’ll get to know a lovely group of other new dancers, meaning you’ll have friends to go with once you’re brave enough to head out to your first social dance or drop in class. The course is appropriate for absolute beginners as well as anyone else who wants to re-visit their basics
Course Features:
– Small class size
– Individual feedback
– Structured learning
Course Details:
We’ll be taking a short break over the holidays so the next course will run
