The Jumptown Beginners Course

A six week introductory course in Lindy Hop, made for people with two left feet

This course caters for the complete beginner, so bring your two left feet, comfortable shoes and a smile. A partner is not necessary as we rotate during class, nor is previous dancing experience, but if you have either they are welcome too! No need to book in beforehand, just turn up a few minutes early to your first class and fill out a registration form.

The beginners course is designed to teach you the basics of Lindy Hop in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. You’ll be up and dancing from the first lesson and then continue to build on moves from there.

We try to encourage everyone to complete the beginners course whether you’ve never danced before or have been dancing for 30 years. Getting everyone to do the same course allows us all to cement the Lindy Hop fundamentals that you’ll need for all your dancing.

Once you have completed the beginners course you have the option of moving to Lindy Essentials.

You may feel you need a little extra time to work on the basics or completely at sea and want to repeat the whole course. This is completely fine and in fact we encourage it. Keep coming to the beginners classes for as long as you want, even after you have graduated to the next level.
