Get ready to elevate your Lindy Hop skills in our dynamic intermediate Dance Class! Designed for dancers who have mastered the basics and completed Lindy 2 (twice!), this course is your next step to becoming a confident and creative Lindy Hopper. Instructor permission is required to ensure the class is the perfect fit for your current dance level, guaranteeing a challenging and rewarding experience for everyone.
In this class, we move beyond basic steps and dive into the exciting world of Lindy Hop partnership. While we will introduce new moves and expand your dance vocabulary, the primary focus shifts to mastering the art of partnering and structuring your dances. Learn how to seamlessly transition between steps, combine movements in original ways, and truly make the dance your own.
But it’s not just about steps – it’s about connection and expression! We’ll teach you how to “cook and chill” – adapting your dance to different music styles and communicating varying levels of intensity to your partner. This is where Lindy Hop evolves into a real conversation, a dynamic dialogue expressed through movement and rhythm.
Just like our Lindy 2 class, this intermediate level will cover a lot of ground each session. To truly absorb and integrate the techniques and concepts, outside practice is essential. Dedicate time outside of class to work on what you’ve learned, and you’ll see significant progress in your dancing.
Special Session Alert: Lindy Hop Recital!
This session is extra special! It culminates in a student recital on Wednesday, April 9th. Both Lindy 2 and Lindy 3 classes will join forces to learn choreography and perform as a group. Don’t worry, you’ll still learn plenty of new moves and refine your technique, but we’ll also emphasize teamwork and polishing our group performance.
Our student recitals are a highlight for both students and teachers. It’s a fantastic opportunity to experience performing and share your Lindy Hop passion with friends and family who may not dance. Think of it as a fun, lighthearted recital for adults – we take the learning seriously, but ourselves not so much! It’s all about the joy of dance and performance.

- Date: Wednesday, April 9th (two showtimes to accommodate everyone).
- Possible Additional Dates: Monday, April 7th or Tuesday, April 8th, depending on class sizes.
