We start out each social dance with a 1-hour beginner Lindy Hop lesson. No previous dance experience or partner required. After the lesson we have an open dance floor!

A social dance is a place to have fun, make new friends and create & share special connections with each partner. On the social dance floor, we are safe and free to truly express ourselves. We want an atmosphere that encourages everyone’s personality to shine, free of any judgement or criticism. We believe that there is no right way to dance, only a way to dance.

Attire: There is no “wrong” way to dress at a dance—but this is a great opportunity to break out your fancy clothes! We ask that you bring clean comfortable shoes; heels might not be that comfortable as Lindy Hop can be very energetic.

We love beginners!
