This routine is all about the love of Lindy Hop! It's 240 bpm, filled with swingouts and air steps, and overflowing with references to The Spirit Moves. We could not be more proud of the hard work and laughter every dancer put into this routine 👏👏

Social dancing is the heart of our studio 🖤

We’re so lucky to have this space to express ourselves to jazz music, move our bodies in community, and deepen friendships.

Join us on Saturdays for Lindy Beginner Series, Drop-in classes, and our weekly social dance, Saturday Swing. No partner or experience required!

If you want to take your dancing to the next level and make new friends, try out one of our long-term social dance programs: Lindy Teams 1, 2, and 3 🙌
