*Lindy Hop, Solo Jazz and more*
Choose and mix the dance styles you want to try:
- ⁠Lindy Hop (partner dance); learn about musicality, connection and improvisation on the dance floor.
- Solo Jazz (without a partner); become one with the music!
⁠- Blues (partner dance); go slower, groove with the music and get closer together.
⁠- Collegiate Shag (partner dance); get started with fast footwork, creativity and craziness on the dance floor.
- Balboa (partner dance); dance faster, more subtle and get closer together.
