TASTER Lesson
Want to try a one-off class before jumping into our month-long classes? We offer a beginner friendly Taster Lesson before all of our Social Dances!
Taster Lesson - 7:30 - 8:30 PM
What's a taster lesson? It's for anyone brand new to Lindy Hop who's never danced it before. This class gives you both an introduction to Lindy Hop and a survival kit to get you through a night on the social dance floor. You'll learn the fundamentals of connecting with your partner and the music we affectionately call swing. But you don't need to bring a partner - we rotate partners during class so that everyone will take turns dancing with everyone else, like you will at a Social Dance!
Social Dance - 8:30 - 10:30 PM
Ok, but what's a Social Dance? Each week, after our lesson, we play 2 1/2 hours of music and we dance until we drop! Sometimes we have live music and sometimes it's DJ'd. A Social Dance is not just about dancing though - it's an opportunity to make new friends, be part of a community, practice what you learned in class, and have fun! We encourage all of our dancers, regardless of level, to hang out and dance with everyone.
Our Social Dance & Taster Lesson is every other Wednesday! Next Dance/Lesson: December 11th - LIVE BAND DANCE!

- Comfy clothes you don’t mind sweating in. Shorts, t-shirts, skirts and dresses are all recommended. Cotton is your friend.
- Shoes that slide. No dance shoes? No problem. Just try to wear shoes that won’t fly off your feet and have little to no tread on their soles. For example, running shoes have a lot of tread. Keds and Converse shoes have very little tread.
- Your body. Over the past few years, you may have noticed that you have one of these. It is very difficult to dance without one, so please don’t leave yours at home.
- Your sense of fun. The first rule of swing dancing is to enjoy yourself. The second rule of swing dancing is to enjoy yourself. Don’t pressure yourself to get everything perfect the first time; just relax and be prepared to do weird and goofy things. Swing dancing is, by nature, silly.
