Description
The focus of this course is to learn the swinging partner dance: Lindy Hop.

PLEASE NOTE: Some of our Lindy Hop 1 courses are ELEF (Everybody Leads Everybody Follows). When signing up to an ELEF course, you don’t need to choose whether you are joining as a leader or follower, since you will be dancing both roles in class.
