Ready to take your Lindy Hop to the next level? This class is designed for dancers who are comfortable with both 6-count and 8-count basics and are looking to grow their skills and confidence on the social dance floor.

We’ll explore a mix of 6-count and 8-count movements while focusing on connection, momentum, and musicality. Rather than just learning new patterns, you’ll work on how movements flow, how to create dynamic shapes, and how to adapt your dancing to the music.

Throughout the series, you’ll expand your repertoire with new variations and ideas, while strengthening the fundamentals that make your dancing feel smooth, grounded, and expressive.

This class is ideal for dancers who already have experience with swing-outs and 6-count and 8-count patterns, and are ready to refine their technique and add more creativity to their dance. If you’re not sure if the class is right for you, reach out to us and we can try to accommodate for you!
