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: Andree George & Calvin Lu

Intermediate: Jo's Topics
We are thrilled to have Jo Hoffberg taking up residency this December at the Breakaway! This class will be drop-in friendly and will vary subjects week by week. To make the most of Jo and Kevin's time and yours these special classes will be 90 minutes long!
These classes will be based in partnered Lindy Hop. They'll make your dancing smoother and feel better. We aim to do that by digging into the solo mechanics and partner dynamics of rotational movements. While it is drop-in friendly we highly encourage you to come each week!
