Learn to dance Lindy Hop with Corner Pocket Swing!

From Harlem, New York, Lindy is the world’s most popular partnered dance of the 1930s & 40s. Today Lindy is an amazing melting pot of fun and impressive dance steps, firmly rooted in authentic vintage jazz movement. Lindy has flashy swing-outs and Charleston kicks and is usually danced to mid-tempo swing dance tunes.

Our 1-hour classes are “drop-in” style, so anyone can start in Level 1 any week with no experience required. You don’t have to bring your own partner, as we’ll be rotating partners, but if you can encourage a friend to give it a go and try the opposite role to you, that’s excellent.

Let’s get you dancing!
