Intro to Lindy Hop: Minta Dolph and Chris Adams

The "Roaring 20's" was just the beginning of the swing era craze. Attracted by the up-tempo and dynamic, improvised nature of jazz, people in the 30s and 40s brought the music to life through the new "Lindy Hop" partnered style of dancing that carried all the way through World War II to today! Lindy Hop & swing music have led to many of the music and dance genres we see now, but why not go back to the roots? Join Naptown Stomp instructors to get your body moving to the irresistible energy on the dance floor!

Open to everyone - no partner or previous experience required. Whether it's your first time or you're a returning student wanting to improve your fundamentals, we'll teach you how to groove on the social floor!

*This track is for brand new dancers, but also recommended for returning students that want to improve their swingouts and mixing 6ct and 8ct footwork to take the Established track in the future.

Beyond Basics: Introductory to Charleston with Sean Everingham and Various Follows

Previous charleston experience is not necessary, although you do need to know basic Lindy Hop
