In this class we recap some of the basic moves and then add either styling or work to improve technique.
After the class a DJ will play swing music and there is a bar in the venue, ideal for practicing and getting to know your fellow dancers.

£65pp
Open Space Studios, Unit 7 Rear of 64 Davigdor Road, Hove, BN3 1RF
Learn to Lindy Hop, the Daddy of all swing dances! In this 6 week course you’ll learn all the basic moves in a small group. You don’t need a partner and you don’t need any experience as we’ll be teaching from the absolute basics. We recommend you wear flat shoes and layers, as the class can get hot as we start to dance.
Traditionally in Lindy Hop the Men lead and the Women follow, however we DO NOT stick to this tradition there are many female leads and male follows in the scene so please feel free to chose which ever role you prefer.
These fun and friendly classes take place in a nice new dance studio and you’ll be dancing with the same people each week in a small group to encourage personal development.
Most streets close to the venue have free parking after 8pm, and several buses stop at the venue inbetween 7 dials and Hove Station.
Learn in a small, consistent group. Six week course. Advanced booking essential. Reserve your space here.
