FOUNDATION Sunday 7pm to 7:45pm | £5
Suitable for complete beginners.
No need to book and no need to bring a partner.
Over 7 weeks, we will cover the following:
8 beat lindy hop
6 beat lindy hop
Charleston (30s style)
We recommend that you complete the full 7 weeks of foundation at least twice over so you are comfortable with the basic shapes, footwork and rhythms before moving to our Swing+ Class.
PRACTICE TIME 7.45 to 8pm - Tunes will be on for all students to keep on dancing, practicing what they have learnt in class- or warming up before their next class- mixing all levels regardless of abilities or experience. Social dancing rules apply- you need to ask for a dance and people are ok to refuse, minimum floor craft will be necessary as no longer under the teacher’s supervision.
SWING + Sunday 8pm to 8:45pm | £5 (or free if you took part in the Foundation class)
Suitable for improvers and more advanced dancers.
