Learn Lindy Hop, the joyful popular swing dance with a rich history, and a growing community of dancers in Toronto and around the world.

Come join us and find out why we are so excited to share this dance with you!

In this course you will mostly learn 8-count Lindy Hop. 6-count and 8-count patterns are the main rhythm patterns in Lindy Hop. We also do other rhythm patterns all the time. When dancing we often do 6-count, 8-count and other rhythm patterns in the same song, it is all Lindy Hop.

You can take our two Lindy Hop beginners courses (one focuses on 6-count, the other on 8-count), in either order, or in the same session of courses.

We encourage you to take each or our beginner courses more than once, for learning and fun. And it will never be exactly the same, especially not if the teachers are different. It is also 1/2 price (rounded up to the nearest dollar amount ending in a zero or 5 when you take the same beginner course again in the same role.

Once you have done our 6-count and 8-count Lindy Hop beginner courses at least once each, you can take our intermediate 1 courses.

Perk: Everyone who takes a weeknight course with us in this session gets 1/2 price admission to Saturday Night Live Band Swing on April 12, 2025. Consider it a graduation party!

A partner is NOT required. It is common for people to attend by themselves. Partner rotation is allowed and encouraged in all lessons. You may register on your own or with a partner. Nevertheless, if you still seek a partner, please post that at the Facebook event.
