The Beginner series has 4 months of curriculum that can be taken in any order. Each series begins on the first Thursday of the month and is progressive, which means every week builds on the weeks before. Drop-ins are allowed only on the first week. Each topic will also be slightly different each time it’s taught, so you can take the same topic multiple times if you’re not sure you’re fully comfortable with all the material in that topic yet.

Once a month: ONLY on the last Thursday of each month

Intermediate/Advanced Practice Session is held on the last Thursday of each month. These practices are meant for dancers who are very comfortable with Intermediate content, have danced and taken classes regularly for at least a year, and are willing to be more collaborative and self-directed than a typical class setting. Ideas will be given for inspiration, but you are encouraged to bring your own ideas to work on. Coming with a dance partner is not required but is allowed and recommended. Expect to workshop moves and ideas with other dancers, give and receive constructive feedback, and build connections in the Lindy Hop community!

Prerequisites: Approval required. Complete this Audition Form to be considered for approval.

Shortened series: Does NOT include the last Thursday of each month

This series is meant to challenge our most experienced students. Students who have danced for multiple years and have put in training and effort outside of classes into things like practice sessions, video reviews, weekend workshops, private lessons, competing, or teaching.

Advanced Topics has no set curriculum. Each month will feature a new topic and teachers who will bring challenging content that they are working on themselves. Some topics may have extra requirements.
