Our instructors are among the top swing dancers in Central Ohio. Instructors vary month to month, so even if you attend three months in a row you'll always receive a fresh perspective.

Level 1

The lesson series start off with the level 1 classes: 1a, 1b & 1c. Level 1 covers the fundamentals of swing dancing to get you ready to move on to the intermediate level. **If you have limited experience with dancing, we recommend you try starting with East Coast (6-count) before moving to Lindy Hop.

1a: East Coast (6-Count) Swing
1b and 1c: Fundamentals of Lindy Hop (8-count). Both start from scratch but different moves are taught. (it's helpful to re-learn the basics a few times when starting Lindy)

Level 2

The level 2 classes (2a, 2b, 2c & 2d) begin to mix 6 and 8 count movements and teach you more complicated patterns of moves. All level 2 classes continue your study and understanding of frame and the lead/follow relationship. Here are just a few examples of what is taught in each series:

2a - Play it Cool : Slower tempos, switches, Texas Tommy, musicality exercises
2b - I Will Survive! : Faster tempos, side by side Charleston, transitions between 6 and 8 count swing and Charleston
2c - Let's Get Tricky : Swingout variations, swivels, musicality
2d - Connection is Everything : Tandem Charleston, moves that really challenge your partner connection, the Sugar Push
