Beginner's Swing/Lindy Hop

This is a beginning-level class, taught in English and Japanese, as needed. Swing was born in the early 1920’s in Harlem, New York. It is danced to upbeat, foot stomping, energetic music and from slow to very fast music, Big Band type music, rock-and-roll music and Motown songs. Swing class includes six- and eight-count triple-, double- and single-rhythm footwork, Charlestons, and basic jazz movement. You are encouraged to start attending this class at the beginning of the month, if possible,  and take for one month at least.
