Swingout Clinic
The swingout is the defining move of Lindy Hop, and it has endless reward and potential. Even the best dancers work on their swing out to this day! If you’re interested in reinforcing good habits, correcting some bad ones (maybe finding out what yours are!), or clarifying the connection and physics that make it work well, this class is for you.
The prerequisite for this course is to be familiar with moving through the swing out with a partner using triple-steps, but we are open to different confidence levels overall. When you take a swing out class, you can be sure to learn something new and refine your technique no matter your level!

Intro to Solo Charleston
Solo Charleston is a great foundation for your solo AND partnered movement, and is even seen in styles outside of Lindy Hop. Usually danced to relatively faster tempos and characterized by high-energy dancing, the basics can also be as small and quiet as you interpret the mood to be. In this lesson we will cover the basic movements that define Charleston, take you through some expressive variations and stylizations, and help you express music and connect with your body in a way.
No prerequisites required for this class.
