Stompology Solo Jazz Dance Weekend 2012 / Rochester, New York

Groove Juice Swing

Level 2: Lindy Hop

Fundamentals of Lindy Hop (Level 2A)

The Lindy Hop is the original high-energy partnered jazz dance, invented during the late 1920s in Harlem and popularized in the '30s and '40s. During this four-week series students will use the skills learned in our level 1 classes as a basis for Lindy Hop. Students will learn the fundamentals of the dance, swing outs and other classic moves that made Lindy Hop so popular.

Lindy Hop Essentials (Level 2B)

Now that you know the foundation of Lindy Hop, you’re ready to kick it up a notch. In this four-week series students will learn rhythms, musicality and some of our favorite moves in order to swing out with confidence and style on the social dance floor.

Jazz Up Your Lindy Hop (Level 3)

Get ready to jazz up your lindy hop with Mike and Jesse again! Learn authentic solo jazz dance moves and how to put them into your partnered lindy hop for that extra spice and authenticity. Great for anyone looking to get better at improvisation, musicality and jazzing up their lindy hop!
