Swing Foundations

from $30.00

Start strong and feel confident on the social dance floor.

Swing Foundations is an inclusive Lindy Hop class designed for those who are new to swing dancing, new to dance in general, or returning after time away. This class focuses on building a solid, joyful foundation that prepares you to dance comfortably with a variety of partners in social settings.

We meet dancers where they are, both individually and as a group, and focus on the core skills that make social dancing feel fun and connected. Classes emphasize rhythm, connection, musicality, and creativity, rooted in the traditions of Lindy Hop.

Far from being a formal ballroom dance stuck in the past, Lindy Hop is an energetic, expressive street dance that gained popularity in Harlem in the 1930s and continues to thrive around the world today. Our goal is to share the joy, spirit, and values of this dance while supporting a welcoming and growing local swing dance community.

Dancers who feel ready to build beyond the fundamentals are encouraged to also explore our ongoing Lindy Hop class once they are confident switching between 6-count and 8-count rhythms and concepts like tuck turns, perhaps even the swingout and Lindy circle.
