Do I need a partner?
No, partners are not necessary. Because Lindy Hop is a social dance, all of our classes allow you to dance with everyone in the class.
How much are the classes?
Our regular events are $15 for now. We will have memberships available soon with discounts!
How do I become a member?
Membership is on hold for the time being.
How much is it if I just want to come for the dance?
Right now, both of our events cost $15 regardless of the time you arrive, so be sure to come early and say hello to our friendly community!
Can my Mom, Dad, brother, sister, or friend just watch the class or the dance?
Our dances are a social event and we think just because you may not be dancing, you'll be having a good time, therefore, we ask everyone to pay under normal circumstances. Chaperones are allowed on an individual basis.
What should I wear to class?
We do not have a formal dress code and encourage everyone to show up however they are most comfortable! Many people dress casually, often in jeans and T-shirts, and some people dress nicely in slacks, skirts, or dresses. Dress to your comfort level and you’ll have no problem.
As for shoes, they are important and a very personal decision! We recommend wearing comfortable, closed-toe shoes. Something you can move around in. The rubber soles of some sneakers can be sticky but many people choose sneakers. High heels can leave you unbalanced but dance heels are a great option for many but not required.
Where can I find out where everyone else is dancing?
Houston has a rich dance scene and you can often find HSDS members out dancing during the week. There are tons of events and groups on Facebook, as most organizing happens there. Be sure to check out the Houston Lindy Hop Community as events are cross-posted there. We try to list HSDS-sponsored events in our newsletter, and you can also find out where people are dancing through our Facebook page!
Who is HSDS?
HSDS is a completely volunteer-run organization, from the instructors, board members, and front desk attendants. We volunteer because we love Lindy Hop! We work hard to bring you fresh classes, electives, dances, workshops, and special events, but we can’t do it alone. HSDS is always looking for people who are interested in sharing their valuable time, effort, or skills to further the quality of HSDS.
