Class Tracks and A la Carte Classses

This year are Lindy Focus we are trying a “Hybrid Class schedule” filled with broader, Long-form “Class Tracks” (6-8 hours) alongside shorter “A La Carte” classes (2 hours) that can be more unique and focused. Create your own ideal learning experience!

NOTE: You must arrive to classes on time! If you try to enter a class 15 minutes past start time, you will be turned away without refund. For real.

Class Tracks

  • Lindy Hop This is an All-Levels* experience for Swing Dancers of all kinds. Each teacher chooses their own curriculum, and each class is tailored to the students in class. For dancers who are looking to improve their basics, learn some new rhythms, and add some new spice to your Lindy Hop. *If you are new to swing dancing, or need a refresher, we reccomend you take our “Beginner Swing Dance” A la Carte Class offered on the 27th at 11:00 AM.

  • Lindy Hop Advanced The Advanced Lindy Hop Track will explore many of the same themes as the All Levels track, but may move faster and delve deeper. Expect tough love, big ideas, and some nasty rhythm.

  • Balboa This is an All-Levels Balboa experience for dancers looking to expand their Balboa minds. Dancers should have experience with ‘Pure Balboa’ and ‘Bal-Swing’ fundamentals.

  • Balboa Advanced This is for the truly seasoned shufflers out there. You know who you are.

  • Blues The Blues Track is an All-levels exploration of various Blues Idioms and regional dances that may or may not include: Chicago Triple, Fishtail, Ballroomin’, Slow Drag, and more

  • Blues Advanced This is a deeper exploration of Blues Dancing, Body Movement, and Bold Choices for the Blues Dance Veterans.

  • Umbrella The "umbrella" track covers anything and everything that falls under the 'swing dance' umbrella. This includes Lindy Hop, Balboa, Blues, various types of shag, and everything in-between. This class is for any and all swing dancers of *any* style. You do not need experience in each of the individual dances to take this class. 

  • Umbrella Advanced This track is for the truly seasonsed swing dancer. You’ve dabbled in a couple of different styles of swing dancing and are looking to put it all together. We recommend you have a foundational understanding of Lindy Hop and  Balboa steps (including but not limited to: swing outs, tuck turns, pure-Balboa, Charleston,  lollies, toss out, out and ins, etc), some experience dancing to slower jazz and blues music, And at least an awareness of other swing dances such as Collegiate Shag, Carolina Shag, Peabody, Hand Dancing, etc. 

*Advanced tracks will have a short skills assessment at the beginning of the week.
