Lindy Hop Swing Dance "Beginner Jump Start" series

Starting in mid-October, Chris & Kellie will be teaching Lindy Hop Swing at Studio 65!

If you don't know about Lindy, do yourself a favor and check it out! In our opinion, it's the most enjoyable swing dance out there, and we have pretty much tried 'em all. The music is fun, the vibe is infectious, and the momentum of the dance is totally addictive!

About Lindy Hop:
Lindy Hop is the ORIGINAL swing dance, evolving out of the Charleston and other big-band-era dances starting as early as the 1920's. Lindy uses 8-count basic footwork similar to that of West Coast swing and leaves tons of room for improvisation and personal flair. What really sets it apart from other forms of swing is its versatility and the general exuberance with which it is performed--check out these video clips!
