6:45-8pm: Tuesday Monthly Series: Momentum Games with Alyssa & Lewi | Sign up Here!
Looking for simple moves that can groove and look cool at a variety of tempos? This is the class for you. In this series we're going to start with foundational 8 count patterns and fiddle with momentum, direction and rotation to freshen up your dance palette. Tuesday series are generally a step up from Thursdays, and while they cater to a range of skill levels, all should have familiarity with basic 8 count rhythms and have taken class series before.
All series include complimentary admission to all Thursday evening social dances this month, consistent teachers & classmates for rapid progress, video recaps for review & practice, and access to our Thursday 7:30pm practice space. $59 general / $39 students. Students also taking the Thursday Monthly series get a 30% discount by inquiry.

Lindy Hop and jazz have a have a culturally rich history dating back over 100 years. Born of the artistry and innovation of Black dancers and musicians, and passed down orally and physically through generations, we take great care in sharing this art form in a way that is true to these sounds, styles, and values while encouraging the innovation that is hallmark of all Black social dances.
