About the May Progressive Series: Level Up Your Lindy Hop! Ready to build on your basics or refine what you already know? Teachers Hannah Burns and Scott Rawls are here to help you level up! This core class is ideal for dancers who’ve taken a few beginner lessons and are ready to go deeper, as well as for those who are already familiar with 8-count Lindy Hop and want to polish their technique, explore new variations, and add playful flourishes. We’ll cover foundational moves like the swingout, Lindy circle, and more, helping you grow your rhythm, connection, and confidence on the social floor. Special Highlight: In Week 5, we’ll join the global Lindy Hop community in celebrating World Lindy Hop Day and the birthday of Frankie Manning, one of the dance’s founding legends. To honor his legacy, Hannah Burns will lead us through the iconic solo jazz routine, The Shim Sham! It’s a joyful tradition that’s easier than the Big Apple and every bit as fun. Perfect for dancers of all levels to enjoy together. |
