Lindy Hop 3 - Sundays, 2:00-3:00pm
When you're confident with the four months of Lindy Hop 2 content, join Lindy Hop 3! Topics vary each month, and are selected based on dancer interests, skill-building needs, and instructor passions! Past topics have included musicality, advanced shapes and variations, developing dancer creativity and style, choreographed routines, solo jazz, and more!
Open Practice Room - Sundays, 3:00-4:00pm
Are you wanting to work on something you're learning in class, trying to create something new, or wanting to just learn from and share with others? The Open Practice Room is open to ALL dancers, regardless of whether you're currently taking lessons. We recommend that you bring a bluetooth speaker and coordinate with other dancers in advance to make sure you have someone to practice with.
