REGISTRATION IS OPEN FOR SEPTEMBER

Sign up for the Swing Dance Project, Jersey Shore Swing's 4 week taster course on the fundamentals of Lindy Hop, the original swing dance. This course is intended for new dancers, experienced dancers who are new to Lindy Hop and experienced Lindy Hoppers who wish to focus on fundamentals.

PARTNER IS NOT NECESSARY

The first session introduces the concepts that distinguish Lindy Hop from other partner dances. A rhythm dance at its core, you will learn how to move yourself and your partner  across the floor with rhythm. 

Is it 6 count? Is it 8 count? Ultimately, Lindy Hop is a 2 count dance, but the classic 6 and 8 count shapes embody the common language for communicating with our partner This session will explore common shapes we see on the dance floor.

This class will teach some more classic steps but with the focus on how our individual dance skills will ultimately facilitate true leading and following that enables Lindy Hop to go beyond prearranged steps.

Where it all began. Charleston is a direct ancestor of Lindy Hop and is still integral part of the dance. This course will cover the Charleston rhythm  and footwork to add to your partner dancing.
