Leaders
Lindy Hop is a partner dance with someone who Lead’s and someone who Follow’s. As a leader, you will learn how to communicate the dance moves to your partner.
Followers – what is that?
As a follow, you will learn how to respond to your leader and how to add styling to your dance moves.
Leaders can be either gender the same goes for the follower, so if you have a friend/partner of the same sex who would like to learn to dance you can bring them along, altougth we do recommend that you stick to the same role each week
Do I need a dance partner?
No, lots of people come on their own, If you have a partner, brilliant, bring them along. Leaders can be either gender. The same goes for the follower
What is rotation in class?
It’s basically changing partners during class. it’s proven to be the best way to learn, and you get to know your fellow class members, plus it’s lots of fun!
What sort of dancing shoes shall I wear?
Please wear flat, comfortable, non marking soled shoes (black soles tend to leave a mark on floors, so please avoid wearing these). Soles that don’t have too much grip on them are best.
What clothes should I wear?
Wear something comfortable and that you can move freely in. Dancing is a physical activity, so expect to get warm. Please bring a bottle of water with you as we are unable to supply refreshments at this time
What happens after the first few weeks?
Although we can teach you quite a few things in your first few weeks, this is just the start of your journey. We continue to teach you more of the basics so you can progress whilst having fun. Most beginners do 2 terms (each term is around 12 weeks) or until they feel comfortable to take the next step into the next level.
