| Tuesdays in June at 8-8:30pm | Beginner Lindy Hop 8 count
Get ready for the Roarin' 20s! During this 30 minute lesson you will learn the basics of the 8 count lindy hop, the high energy dance that originated in Harlem in 1920s. You'll be able to get out on the dance floor and have fun dancing already after the first lesson! This is a drop-in class, so every week throughout June we will be covering the same set of basic steps, throwing each week a new variation on top. No partner is required to join. After the lesson at 8:30 we have an Open Practice with a DJ when our teachers will be available for dances and questions. No partner required :) Price: $10. It also covers the Open Practice and the late night dance! | Jessica & Karolina |

Join us for the Open Practice! All levels are welcome, and our teachers will be available throughout the practice to dance with you! Price: $5. It also covers the late night dance! |
