What Level?

Level I 
START HERE. This is a great place to start, any month, refine or brush up your basics from the beginning. We will give you a great foundation to have a fun dance with ANY partner and get more dancing in your life. You'll get tips and focus on a particular style in this 4 part series:
  • Lindy Hop Rhythm 6
  • Lindy Hop Rhythm 8
  • Lindy Hop Rhythm Mix
  • Charleston​
Take these in ANY order, so start at the beginning of ANY month.
    Note: it is common for people to take the same series more than once, the material will vary slightly and then allows you to focus on different parts of what you're learning.

​Please email us with any questions:

Level II
Tuesdays in Gowanus only

NEXT HERE. This is a great place to get detail, build concepts, and play. If you got the basics from Level I, go out social dancing a little or a lot, then this is likely for you. When you understand how a movement works then you can be witty, creative, and even dramatic with it. In Level II we focus on depth of learning: aka details, over breadth of learning: aka moves. Don't worry you'll get moves ;) The style/topic change each month:
  • Lindy Hop (6 & 8)
  • Charleston
  • Combo of the above
​Teacher Approval Required

Come 10 minutes before class, dance with an instructor, then they will let you know what's best.

All Levels Blues
Mondays in Prospect Heights only
ALL are welcome! Come to find out what Blues Dances are or come to be challenged in your Blues Dancing. There will be details and opportunity choice moves to choose your own adventure on how challenging the class can be. Think of it like a yoga class, take on until you shake, but don't break.
