March/April Monday Lessons
March/April Monday Lessons
March 31, April 7, 14, 21
**Special class on April 7th - all levels public workshop with LaTasha Barnes - 7-9pm. This will replace both of our regular series classes.
Participants will explore the continuum of Black music and dance, connecting Authentic Jazz and Lindy Hop of the 1920s with contemporary forms such as House, Hip-Hop, Funk and more. This unique project aims to share the traditions of Jazz and to share its power to build community through the kinesthetic and collaborative joy of moving together.

7:00 — Lindy Hop 200 (4 weeks)
Lindy 200 is focused on skill building and expanding your creativity on the social floor. Topics will be a grab bag and won’t necessarily link from one class to another — might be building vocabulary, musicality, rhythm variations, solo movement, stylings, etc. Drop-in friendly! Suggested prerequisites are completion of the 100 level series or familiarity with the swingout, circle, send out, pass by, and tuck turn.
8:15 — Lindy Hop 101 (4 week series)
Lindy Hop 101 is the first part of a progressive 3-month track to give you a very strong base in social swing dance - great for new and experienced dancers alike. This session focuses on the fundamentals of partner connection and musicality. No experience or partner is required.
