Swing 3: Lindy Hop Essentials

Swing 3 is where we mix and match all the prior Swing series material, add a few more, and increase your comfort with a wider range of tempos. We also add some variations on moves you already know and love, to further enrich your social dancing vocabulary and your understanding of connecting with the music and a partner.

Connect the moves you learned in prior Swing series in a more swinging and flowing way and add on with some more complex moves, variations, and solo dancing. Lindy hop, as a partnered dance, often incorporates “breaking away” from your partner for open solo play and dancing. Learn and practice how to make this a comfortable and rhythmical part of your partner connection.

The Swing 3 program (A, B, & C) is 3 five-week series that can be taken in any order.
