Lindy Hop dance events are a great way to meet new people, learn new dances, and have a lot of fun. You can expect to see a variety of different dance styles, from beginner to advanced. There will also be live music, so you can enjoy dancing to the sounds of swing, jazz, and blues. We will have community activities during the day that allow you to meet new friends and learn more about our community history and culture.

Nope! Lindy Focus is a social event, and you may ask anyone to dance with you. During classes, partners will rotate so that everyone can practice with a variety of other students.

If you prefer to bring your own partner to classes, for safety or other reasons, you may alert your instructor that you won’t be participating in rotation.
