Beginner : Moving Together
The focus of this class is something fundamental to social dancing: Connection! After all, coordinating movement with another person is part of what makes this a partner dance as opposed to a solo dance. Starting with some basics and building up in complexity each week, you'll learn different moves to get you and your partner on the same page and jammin' together on the dance floor! No partner and no experience necessary.
Beginner Teachers: Ariyana Vojdani & Kacey Pitcher
Intermediate: Frankie Classics
If there's one name you should know from Lindy Hop, it's Frankie Manning. Also known as the Ambassador of Lindy Hop, a lot of his favorite moves and variations are now deeply ingrained into the dance. And so even though he's no longer around, we still see Frankie's influence throughout lindy hop. In this class you'll learn all about these "Frankie moves," as well as a variety of really classic intermediate steps that every dancer needs to know!
Intermediate Teachers: Irina Semenova & Stas Shaposhnikov
Intermediate Elective: Bal 1
Balboa? Balboa!

Elective Topics Teacher: Arsen Elkin & Juanita Dickhaus
Practice sESSION
Intermediate/Advanced Practice Session is held on the last Thursday of each month at 7-8pm, right before the dance.
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!
