Lindy
Learn to Dance Lindy-hop with
Todd and Jennifer!
“Lindy” is the original swing dance for jazz and big band music. In learning to dance, you’ll meet new people, get some exercise, and have fun while refining your skills. No experience, partner or special equipment necessary—you already own everything you need. During our 5-week series, beginners will learn the basics of Lindy-hop and be ready to hit the dance floor.
Private instruction is also available. Please email tucsonlindy@gmail.com for more information.
Class Outline
Week 1: Rhythm and Connection – You’ll be listening to music and dancing from the moment class starts. We will give you the fundamentals you need for the rest of the series.
Week 2: Swing-Out Essentials – The swing-out is the classic Lindy move that you will learn and love. We’ll visit it again in week 5 to add some style.
Week 3: Lindy Circles and Phrasing – Remember when you used to holds hands with a friend and shuffle around really fast in a circle? Lindy circles are just like that—it’ll be great!
Week 4: Charleston! – When the music gets fast, use Charleston! In this class, we’ll teach you the basics that you can make your own.
Week 5: Swing-Out Styling – Part of the fun of dancing is coming up with your own style, and you’ll start to develop that in this class. Your swing outs are going to shine!
