Class Social : This series includes a class event where you, your instructors, and fellow students will meet-up for a social activity! This could mean going for a drink, ice cream, walk, or a dance social; as decided by consensus.
Sprung Hardwood Floors + AC : We have a great facility with unique sprung hardwood floors, and AC! It is subtle, but if you dance on these floors for more than an hour versus most other dance floors, your joins and muscles will definitely appreciate it! The air conditioning certainly helps, especially when it gets warm outside.
Partner Required : You must sign up with a partner for this class. Swing 1, Rotating: Jivin Lindy Hop Week 1 Wed, May 28 6:15 pm Sugar Swing 27.00 These steps come out of a New York night club! From the 1930s, that is. Lindy Hop is danced to fun, rhythmic jazz music, and is a partnered dance. It was first pioneered by predominantly Black Americans, has since spread globally across the world. It involves steps that are often done in 8 or 6 beats of the music; nowadays we'll call 8-count Lindy Hop, and the 6-count as Jitterbug or Jive. It's fun, beginner-friendly, inclusive, and no experience needed. Sign up for rotating if you prefer to or do not have a partner, or for partners if you have one. Both groups, ie Swing 1, Partners and Swing 1, Rotating, will be taught at the same time by the same instructors in the same room -- one side of the room will be rotating, the other side will not!These steps come out of a New York night club!
