It also highlights the importance of frame, lead/follow skills and listening to the music. There are two different beginners classes, and you need to complete both before moving up to the intermediate class. Intermediate Lindy Hop This class is focused on reinforcing the basics from Beginner Lindy Hop, providing exposure to some of the more common moves led in social lindy hop and providing a foundation for improvisation. Advanced Lindy Hop This class is focused on more complex moves, more lead/follow instruction and improvisation. You will be invited to join this class when your dancing has reached the appropriate level. Medley Class The Medley Class focuses on a different style of swing dancing other than Lindy Hop, and is open to everyone from beginners to advanced dancers. In future sets we'll be teaching styles such as partner charlestons, solo charlestons, and collegiate shag, which are all fantastic dances to add to your repetoire! -------------------------------------------- PRIVATE LESSONS We can teach you or a small group privately at any level. We charge $40 per hour per teacher. Talk to one of the teachers or email us for more info.
