Classes

The last class of 2012 was on Thursday 20th December and, as in past years, was very much a party night with 'Santas', 'Mrs Santas', or 'Red & White' as the theme for the evening.


The first class, and term of 2013 started on Thursday 17th January.


This term ran for 8 weeks, and progressed from the basics through to the core moves of this dance style - the 'Lindy Turn', 'Lindy Circle', and 'Swing-out'.

The next class, and 8-week term will start on 9th May....


This series of classes will follow the same format as above, but will featuture the Lindy Charleston and Frankie Manning-style Lindy for the first three weeks, by way of tribute to this great dancer, and in celebration of (what would have been) Frankie Manning's 99th Birthday on 26th May.

Other Dance Styles

From time-to-time, we have classes in other dance styles, including Jazz Steps classics such as 'The Shim Sham', or 'The Jitterbug Stroll', and 'Balboa', etc.   Check out the links below for more information about the 'Balboa' and 'Collegiate Shag' dance styles.


Balboa

This dance style is great for the faster tunes (300+ beats-per-minute), not to mention great fun and can be mixed-in with your Lindy moves, so extending your repertoire and increasing your enjoyment of these wonderful dances.

Collegiate Shag

This dance style is also great for the faster tunes (200+ beats-per-minute), not to mention just as much fun as Balboa and can also be mixed-in with your Lindy moves, so extending your repertoire and increasing your enjoyment of these wonderful dances even further!
