In this class, You Can EXPECT To:

  • Learn one of the basic rhythms of Lindy Hop

  • Explore the technique of how to lead (create signals) and follow (react to signals)

  • Learn multiple turns and handholds

  • Learn basic social dance etiquette and how to connect with the music to start dancing!

Choosing a Role

Swing dancing is a partner dance, with both partners contributing equally to create something fun and exciting together. Leads generally create signals for their partners, and Follows, in turn, react to those signals. We encourage you to learn whichever role you are most interested in, or even both! For class balance, we do ask that you stick to the role you have signed up for that month. Read our Getting Started Guide for more about learning to swing dance with Traffic Jam!
