Learn to dance the Lindy Hop, the original partnered dance of the swing era! Swing dancing is joyful, free-spirited and infectious. It’s unabashedly fun with a carefree style that closely reflects the music that inspired its creation by Black Americans in Harlem, New York in the late 1920s. This dance is a blend of African and European influences, culminating in a vernacular dance form that has lead and follow elements but also is rhythmically free and prizes individualism.

Join the Center for Student Involvement for an introduction to Lindy Hop and its history, from 1920s Harlem to today, while moving to great music in community with others. There will be social dancing after the lesson. Your instructors will be there to dance with you and answer any questions!
