  • Musicality Course: 20th November – 11th December. 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.
