Intermediate Lindy (Lindy 2) - Sundays at 6:30pm

A four-month rotation of moves and technique. A strong foundation in Lindy 1 is required to begin Lindy 2. Students generally repeat the 4-month cycle at least once, as instructors and patterns change frequently, even when the same moves are taught. No partner required.

Electives - Sundays at 7:30pm

Vary from month to month, and often require no lindy hop experience. Past electives have included Hip-Hop, Carolina Shag, Balboa, Tap, and Hula! No partner required unless specified.

DANCE!- Sundays at 8:30-10:30pm 

The best way to perfect your lindy hop is to get out and dance! What better time to practice than after your classes. Our dances are open to anyone, regardless of your membership, or class enrollment.
