We are currently teaching Lindy Hop

Our regular weekly dance classes are held in Caversham, Reading on Tuesday evenings.  Classes begin at 7.30 pm and finish with social dancing until 10.30 pm.  Classes are run on a “drop-in” basis, pay as you go, so you can come along and join in any week.  The more regularly you attend, the quicker you improve!

Beginners – Including Absolute Beginners

Beginners arrive at 8.00 pm where they learn the basic rhythms and dance figures in a fun and friendly environment and then get the chance to practice what they’ve learned with the teachers on hand to help out. Absolute Beginners, including those who have never danced a step, come along at 7.30 pm to get some extra tuition so they can then join in the Beginners Class from 8.00 pm until 9.00 pm.  After that they have the chance to continue to practice while the more advanced class is taught and can then join in the social dancing until the evening closes at 10.30 pm.

Intermediates/Advanced

More experienced dancers come along at 9.00 pm for a class which involves more complicated figures and rhythms, followed by social dancing until 10.30 pm.
 

General Info

Do you need a partner?
You do not need to bring a partner.  Many people come along on their own and the dance classes are structured so that everyone has an opportunity to dance.
 

What to wear?
Just wear whatever feels comfortable.  You do not need special dance shoes.  Low-heeled shoes or leather-soled shoes will all be fine.
