Starting August 5th, we’re rolling out a special, 6-week series of dance classes 
Description
The focus of this course is to learn the swinging partner dance: Lindy Hop.
This course is the perfect introduction to the basics of Lindy Hop and the main goal of the course is to practise leading and following, and prepare you to go social dancing at swing dance parties.
PLEASE NOTE: Some of our Beginner Courses in Lindy Hop 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.
Level Guidance
This is a course for complete beginners. No prior dance experience is needed.
Partner Rotation
Please note that there is partner rotation in all our Lindy Hop classes to improve the leading and following skills of the participants.

In this class, we will work on your basic turning technique and help you understand the many different types of turns in Lindy Hop. We will discuss how to lead/follow the difference between stepping or triple stepping through a turn and how to speed up or slow down a turn.

In this class, we will touch on the many different ways you can add Musicality into your Lindy Hop dancing. You will learn how to create improvisations on the fly and learn how to let your dancing be inspired by the music. We will teach you how to think of yourself as one of the musicians in the band, which will help you adapt your dance to fit the theme and style of the music. Dancing with musicality can feel a bit overwhelming at first, when you are just trying to stay connected to your partner and stay in rhythm. But with a few easy tricks and some great exercises, you will quickly feel it makes everything easier and understand it’s essential to any good dance.

Do you already have some experience dancing Lindy Hop and are you curious about learning to dance both roles? Then we have just the course for you!
Our ELEF for Everyone course is a Lindy Hop course taught in the ELEF style, meaning “Everybody Leads Everybody Follows”.
This course is an offer to the people who just finished our latest ELEF courses in May-June. It is also very much an offer to more experienced dancers who might only know one of the roles and are curious about learning ‘the other side’. Everyone is welcome!
Learning to dance both roles and seamlessly switch between them takes time and practice, but mastering both sides of this wonderful dance is an incredibly exciting and satisfying experience. Learning twice the roles really is twice the fun!
Level guidance
You must either have taken one of our ELEF courses previously, or if you have only learned one role so far, you should have taken classes for at least six months to join.
Teachers
Madison & Cecilie
Description
Are you getting tired of the usual 6-count and 8-count footwork? Then let’s spice it up by mixing up your normal rhythms to unleash creativity in your dancing! In this course we will show you how to break your footwork down into smaller pieces, and modify it in exciting ways – all while keeping the flow of the dance. You will learn classic footwork patterns like Kick-Ball-Change and Scissor Kicks. You will also learn to create your own new footwork and explore new types of rhythms that you can add to your dancing. You will never be bored with your own dancing again!

This course will expand on the finer elements of Balboa with a focus on rhythm, musicality, tempo and partnership. Basic elements will be expanded upon and classic figures will be refined.
For followers: Slippery shoes are the best, and having dance shoes with a slightly elevated heel is even better. See an example here.
For leaders: Slippery shoes are the best, and having dress shoes with a classic heel is even better. See an example here.
In this class, we will bring your Balboa to the next level. We will introduce new perspectives to figures and moves that you already know. We will challenge ourselves with adding new shapes to known patterns and experiment with ways to transform any figure.
Please note: There is partner rotation in all our Balboa classes to improve the leading and following skills of the participants.
Shoes
