Swing Dancing at the Museum Club

Lindy Hop is a classic partnered social dance, but you don’t need to bring your own partner. We rotate during the class so that you have a chance to meet and dance with many different people.

Our inclusive and friendly beginner classes start at 7pm after line dancing at the Historic Museum Club in Flagstaff, AZ. Lessons are FREE, but tips are encouraged for the instructors hard work! Stick around after the lesson and practice what you learned at the dance social from 8pm-10pm!

FAQ:
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Lindy Hop is a casual dance, and it’s also quite athletic. We suggest comfortable clothes that you can move around in, and non-marking flat shoes that will stay on your feet (open backed shoes or flip flops don’t work well.) Followers don’t generally wear heels in Lindy. If you have leather soled shoes, maybe bring a back up in case you think the floor is a bit too slick.

WHAT KIND OF SWING DANCING DO YOU TEACH?
The term “Swing” refers to a number of different dance styles that evolved in the swing era and are rooted in swing music. In our Level 1 class we start with Lindy Hop with maybe some Charleston mixed in. In later levels or workshop offerings, we’d like offer other dance styles like Balboa, Collegiate Shag, or more Vernacular Jazz. We teach a variety of swing-era dances such as Lindy Hop, Charleston, and Balboa. While each of these dances are distinct, today most swing dancers are familiar with and dance all of them.

DO I NEED A PARTNER?
You do not need to bring a partner. We rotate partners in all of our classes so that students get experience dancing with a variety of people. We have found that by rotating our students learn much faster. You may also choose to come with a partner and not rotate.
