Description

Swing Dancing

Lindy Hop and Charleston are swing dances originating in Black American communities through the 1920s-40s and were innovated with and are closely connected to the evolution of jazz music. They're social dances where you get on the dance floor and connect with other people through the music with rhythms, groove, expression and improvisation. Edinbop teaches classes focused on social dancing, mostly partnered (which Lindy Hop and Charleston are) and sometimes solo (which is also a huge part of the tradition).

Level 1 Fundamentals Classes

Our level 1 classes cover the fundamentals - if you're brand new, or have been dancing for a little while and would like to brush up on the basics, or you've learned one dance role and would like to learn the other, these classes will be perfect for you. Our beginner classes are drop-ins, but are structured in 5 week blocks. You can buy a block of 5 classes (or 4 if you can't make the first week), or pay on the door (card only). If this is your first time swing dancing, our aim by the end of the 5 weeks is for you to feel good about getting on the floor and having a good time with the other members of our community!

Level 2 Improver/Intermediate Classes

Our level 2 classes are aimed at dancers who are already comfortable with the fundamentals of Lindy Hop (including 8 count, 6 count and Charleston) and are looking to challenge themselves further. We expect you to have completed at minimum two L1 blocks before stepping up to this level - please speak to a teacher if you are unsure. These classes are drop-in, so you do not need to sign up for a block - but you can buy a ticket for the whole block if you wish.
