Learn to Lindyhop – one of the hottest dances on the scene!
As seen in the final of the BBC’s “Strictly Come
Dancing” 2009,“Strictly Dance Fever” in 2005/2006, performed in “Strictly Come Dancing” in 2008,
danced at Hangar Dances across the country, Lindyhop is the original fun and heart pumping form of Jive, danced to lively
music ranging from 1920’s Big Bands to current top action Swing Bands.
The earliest form of Swing/Jive/Rock ‘n’ Roll,
it includes an eclectic mixture of simple and flashy moves, many based on the dances of the roaring 20’s, with an injection
of new steps and styling from its resurgence in London, New York and Sweden in the 1980’s.
It has not only swept the nation, but is
now also danced all over the world by nationalities caught by the bug of this fun and crazy dance.
So, if you love those hip and swinging jazz
tunes, this is the dance to do.
We also teach “Collegiate Shag” classes
- another fun and enlivening dance style of the 1930’s era (perhaps overshadowed by the famous “Charleston”);
danced to up-tempo music ranging from traditional Dixieland style jazz to Swinging bands of all eras.
We
have our own authentic period clothing from the 1930’s, 1940’s and 1950’s so we can offer our services for
re-enactment events, films & TV, schools & more!
