JANUARY 2025 LINDY HOP CLASSES

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 more than 25 years of Lindy Hop experience.

What is Lindy Hop?

Lindy Hop, the original swing dance, is a Black American dance that originated in Harlem, New York City, in the late 1920s. Lindy Hop dominated dance halls throughout the Great Depression until World War II, and it continues to be popular today. It’s an unabashedly joyful dance, with a playful, flowing style that closely reflects its 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 many different people. Partners are connected in a playful lead/follow relationship. Absolutely no experience or partner are required for Level 1.0.
