Brought to you by Valerie Salstrom (Get Hep Swing) and Brecksville Center for the Arts:
Lindy Hop is the original form of swing dancing that origi-
nated in the ballrooms of Harlem, NY in the late 1920s/early
1930s. It is done in 8 counts rather than the Jitterbug’s 6
and therefore allows you to match the music much better.
It is a bit more linear versus the circular Jitterbug too. The
Lindy Hop is a tiny bit more difficult to learn but oh so worth
it! When you begin to master the swing out, circle, inside
turn, outside turn, RJ, and more…you will have a sense of
overwhelming euphoria and true connections to the music!
For examples of the Lindy Hop think of the dance scenes
in the movies “Swing Kids” or “Malcolm X” or to the video
Cost for the whole 5 week session: $50 per person or $80 per couple
