Beginners Classes

Beginner Courses

The beginner course is your introduction to swing dancing. It’s where we teach you the basic footwork, introduce some basic lead/ follow technique and the core moves that make up the lindy hop. We currently run 2 beginner courses.

Lindy ‘A’
This is the 6 beat course. We run through the 6 beat footwork and teach you some basic moves like the tuck turn, sugar pushes, loop de loo and maybe a small pop if we have time.

Lindy ‘B’
This is the 8 beat course. Where we run through the 8 beat footwork and teach some of the essential moves of lindy hop like the swing out and lindy circle. We also throw in a few of our favourite cheesy moves for good measure!

So you’re thinking.. do I need to do both?

In a nutshell, yes as they both cover essential material for the intermediate classes. However, while you’re doing your second beginners course we invite you to stay on and try out the intermediate class each night (for free). It might be a bit challenging but give it a shot and you can also sit out the moves you don’t know.
