Upcoming Courses in 2026:

 

  • Musicality Course: 7th – 28th January. Everything is better with music! Learn how to make simple changes for big effects so that all your dances feel unique to the music. Lindy hop wouldn’t be lindy hop without the swung rhythm of the music we dance to. Once you have a good grasp of the basics and a good handful of moves under your belt, we will give you some tools to help you become more musical in your dancing. This course will give you a better understanding of the music, it’s common features and how to work with the music when you dance. It will include both how to be musical in and of yourself but also how to work with a partner to inspire and take inspiration from each other and the music.

 

  • Tandem Madness: 4th – 25th February. If you’ve conquered Tandem Charleston and want to move beyond the basics this course is for you. We’ll give you some crazy moves to up your Charleston game! We’ll tidy your technique and work through some interesting combinations and variations using Tandem and Hand to Hand Charleston. The course will assume that you have a grasp of side by side, tandem and hand to hand charleston.

 

  • Swingout Course: 4th – 25th March. Learn the iconic and dance defining move “The Swingout!”. So essential for any Lindyhopper we’ve got a full 4 week course on just this one move. The course will go over the basic shape of a swingout and progress to more in depth technique and a couple of variations to spice things up a bit. This course is for people who’ve never learnt a swing out, but have a solid grasp of the fundamentals of Lindy hop – this is the next step for you. It is also appropriate for those who have learnt a swing out shape and want to improve on their technique and learn a variation or two.

 

  • Ladies of Lindy Hop Course: 1st – 22nd April. !NEW COURSE! This course celebrates the legacy of some amazing dancers who’ve made lindy hop what is today – Norma Miller, Sugar Sullivan, Mama Lu Parks and Dawn Hampton. The course will be a mix of solo and partnered material and open to dancers of all genders and roles. This course was inspired by a local dancer (Raquel) who said she loved our Frankie’s Moves course but would would really love to see a course that focussed on of some of the ladies of lindy hop.
