🏆 Ready to take your Lindy Hop to the next level?

This December, we're diving into the exciting world of competitive swing dancing! Each week, we'll explore the essential skills, strategies, and practice techniques that can help you prepare for a Lindy Hop competition—and become a more confident, well-rounded dancer along the way.

Whether you're curious about entering your first competition or looking to sharpen your competitive edge, this is your chance to learn from over 10 years of competitive dance experience in a fun, supportive environment!

💃 Not interested in competing? No problem! Everything we'll cover is designed to elevate your social dancing, strengthen your skills, and give you the tools to take ownership of your growth as a dancer.

✨ Come challenge yourself, build confidence, and discover what you're capable of. Join us all December long!

__________________________________________________________________________________________>> What's a practicum and social dance?
We DJ music just like a regular social dance. You can come out and just dance like normal, or you can come planning to work on something: Ask for feedback, work on a move, play with variations, master a routine.

>> Have a specific question?
Experienced dancers and local teachers are available at practicum to help out with sticky spots.

>> Balboa? Shag? Solo? Learning swingouts?
Let the DJ know what you're working on if you have specific music requests!
