Whether you're new to swing dance or a seasoned Lindy Hopper, you'll find SLS surprisingly easy to pick up. This 3-hour workshop is designed to suit all levels, whether you're a first-timer or an old hand.
In Part 1 we kick off with an introduction to the dance and and its fundamental principles before introducing some core moves that will give you the confidence and inspiration to get up and out on the dance floor immediately.
