We’re thrilled to offer Lindy Hop classes, taught by Jana Jedlovska and Zoey Gould! Jana and Zoey learned from many original swing dancers and bring 25+ years of Lindy Hop experience.
What is Lindy Hop?
Lindy Hop is a Black American street dance that originated in Harlem, New York, in the late 1920s. Closely related to other African American Street Dances including Hip Hop, Soul, Funk, and Disco. Lindy Hop dominated dance halls throughout the swing era and continues to be popular today. It’s a playful, flowing style that closely reflects the music.
Lindy Hop is a partnered social dance but you don’t need to bring your own partner. We rotate during the class so that you have a chance to meet and dance with different people. No experience is required for Level 1.0, and no partner is required.
