Learn from our Dance Team members who are some of the most talented dancers on the swing scene today. Each of us specializes in the swing styles that emerged out of the 1920s – 1950s here in America. We cherish these dances and love sharing them so that they will live on and on. Maybe you'll be part of the next generation of talent.

Lindy Hop: Styling Choreography
4-week course with Stina Dallons
Mondays, 7:30-8:30pm
Each week, the class will learn a new piece of short choreography. We will discuss new ways to style the steps, and how to add these techniques to your social dancing. Knowledge of 8 count is needed. We will be focusing on musicality to famous swing songs and seeing how these beats change when you change the song. This class will not be progressive; each week is its own section.
