From Harlem, New York (on the East coast of the USA), the Lindy Hop is a popular dance of the Swing era, as shown in famous films such as Hellzapoppin (1941). A massive melting pot of jazz movement, Lindy has flashy swing-outs and Charleston kicks and is usually danced to mid-tempo swing dance tunes.

All classes are delivered in a drop-in style, so anyone can start at any time. For our Level 1 classes, no experience is required.

No partner is required, 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.

TIME:
6:30 - 7:30 pm: Level 1 (Beginners welcome)
7:45 - 8:45 pm: Level 2 (Intermediate and above)

WHAT TO EXPECT:
In partnered swing dancing there are two roles, Lead and Follow, which are both equally challenging and fun in their own distinct ways. These roles have never been strictly gender-specific and we have no problems at all if you are a woman who chooses to lead or a man who chooses to follow. We only hope to achieve an even balance of the roles in class if possible. If there are a couple of bonus leads or follows don’t worry, the class will rotate and everyone will get to try the steps with multiple partners. Occasionally we’ll have one couple who want to stick together and we can accommodate that. At the beginning of a Level 1 class we often go through some easy solo warm-up movement to music. Then we teach a “Basic” repeatable footwork pattern that will be the basis for the additional moves we will teach you later in the class. Students are welcome to give positive feedback and encouragement to each other, however if things are unclear or something isn’t working we ask that students ask questions of the teachers rather than giving each other unsolicited corrective feedback. There may be some more experienced students or some of our other teachers dancing in the group to even up the numbers and help the class progress more quickly. You may ask your partner for brief feedback, but please do not hold up the rotation or be talking with your partner while the teachers are trying to teach! Assume that whenever the teachers are talking, they are talking to you.

Corner Pocket Swing acknowledges the Yuggera people and the Turrbal people as the traditional owners of Meanjin, the lands where we live, learn and work. We recognise their cultures, histories and diversity, and their continuing connection to the lands, water and communities. We also pay our deepest respects to Elders, past, present and emerging.
We acknowledge the contemporary Queensland Aboriginal community, who have survived invasion and dispossession, and continue to maintain their identity, culture and Indigenous rights.

Corner Pocket Swing acknowledges that we teach historical dance styles that are from a culture that is not our own.
When we teach these dances which are rooted in and inspired by the foundations of Jazz music we are guests in the house of Black American culture. We respect and cherish the original Black musicians and dancers who shared their amazing creativity and talent during a time when they were routinely disrespected and mistreated by the society in which they lived.

Black lives matter
