At this point, you’ve learned most of the most commonly known basic Lindy hop steps and patterns, and it’s time to get them feeling more awesome (for you and your partner) at a wider range of tempos and with more variations.

We usually advocate rotating in our classes, because it is a helpful learning tool, and because it helps to establish and nurture a community of positive students sharing in a group learning environment. Our priority is a community of Swing dancers who mix, mingle, and participate in a joyful dance scene. However, due to health and safety concerns, you may prefer to remain with only one or two partners throughout a class and/or dance. You can indicate your preference when you register and/or at class.
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.
- Mondays 6:15-7:15pm at EDAM Studio, 202 East 8th Avenue, Vancouver
