Edinbop's Level 1 Fundamentals classes are suitable for complete beginners, and require no prior dance experience or partner. Each week will build on the content of the previous one, and our teachers will take you through the fundamentals of lindy hop. Each 4 week block will begin from scratch - you can join the current block in either week 1 or week 2, but after that, we ask you to wait until a new block is about to begin. Our October block will be focusing on 8 count lindy hop.
New to Lindy Hop and not sure which role to sign up for? We like to think of the two roles, lead and follow, as being a rally car driving team. The lead is the navigator, who creates the framework for moves. Meanwhile, the follow is the driver, who makes the moves happen and keeps the dance going.
Level 2 Improver/Intermediate classes are aimed at dancers who are already comfortable with the fundamentals of lindy hop (including 8 count, 6 count and Charleston) and are looking to challenge themselves further. We expect you to have completed at minimum one L1 block in each style before stepping up to this level - please speak to a teacher if you are unsure. These classes are drop-in, so you do not need to sign up for a block - but you can buy a ticket for the whole block if you wish.
