Make your slow Lindy delicious and gooey. When the music slows down but is still swingin', we have more time to fill the space with interesting body movement. We'll work on the body mechanics that you need to make your slow swingouts and other Lindy vocabulary look and feel great when the BPMs are low.

Lindy 3 classes are intended for students who have completed (and are confident in) all elements of the Lindy 2 curriculum (which includes at least one month of Fundamentals). The topic for these classes changes every month at the discretion of the instructors.

Ever watch social dancers and wonder "What is that crazy move and how did they lead/follow it?" Sometimes it's a move from our vault of Lindy Hop repertoire . . . and sometimes it'ts just a result of playing around with lead/follow connection and seeing what happens! This class will break us out of our comfort zone of "step step triple step, step step triple step," and into a land of asking, responding, momentum, rate, rotation, timing, and more!
