WHAT IS A SERIES?
A Series is a 4-week period of time during which several Courses are offered.

WHAT COURSES ARE OFFERED IN THE NEXT SERIES?
Click on the green "Next Series" button above to see what we have in store.
WHAT DO WE TEACH?
We have a wonderful curriculum that will take you from an absolute beginner on up to a seasoned swing dancer. Read all about it HERE .
I'M NEW TO SWING DANCING. WHERE DO I START?
You should start with our Level 1 Course at 7pm on Thursday nights. Check our "Start Dates" (using the TAB above) to see when the next Series starts.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEN LEVEL 1 A & B? DOES IT MATTER WHICH ONE I START ON?
We want our students to develop really solid basics, so our Level 1 and Level 2 Courses are designed to span 2 Series (an "A" and "B" Series.) These "A" and "B" Series reinforce the same fundamentals in weeks 1 & 2 and provide completely new material in weeks 3 & 4. It doesn't matter which Series ("A" or "B") you start your Level 1 and Level 2 learning with.
MAY I TAKE MORE THAN ONE COURSE AT A TIME?
Yes! As a matter of fact you get BIG discount on additional Courses taken in the same Series. Most people, who are absolute beginners, just start with Level 1. Then the next series they repeat Level 1 and add on Level 2.
CAN I JUST DROP IN?
Yes, you can definitely drop in. The price is $20 for a single one-hour lesson. But we do ask that you don't drop in for the 3rd or 4th weeks in a beginner class (Levels 1, 2 & 3).
DO I HAVE TO WEAR A MASK? Our Mask Etiquette: Bring a mask to all of our classes and dances and keep it with you. Before dancing with someone who chooses to wear a mask, please put yours on... Our motto: "Don't ask! Wear your mask!"
GROUP DANCE CLASSES
Lindy By The Sea group classes include: East Coast Swing and Lindy Hop, as well as featured classes in Balboa, Collegiate Shag, 1920s Charleston, Performance, and more. Our three instructors have over 55 years of combined teaching experience. Our classes all follow a well-thought out curriculum, and are extremely upbeat and fun.

BALBOA
TUESDAYS
8pm - 9pm
* Open To ALL LEVELS *
The Balboa (or just "Bal" to many who know it) is a swing dance that originated right here in Southern California on Balboa Island in the 1920s. As a "satellite" dance to the Lindy Hop, Balboa was immensely popular in the decades that followed and is still a favorite of many swing dancers today all over the world. Whether for dancing to faster tempos or just spicing up your Lindy Hop, Balboa is a wonderful and FUN addition to your dancer's play-book. So, come on down or stick around for Balboa at 8pm on Tuesday nights.
FUN BALBOA CLIPS:

The Swingout is the backbone of the Lindy Hop and there are literally hundreds of Swingout variations you can learn. By request, we will be teaching you several of our favorites (most of which didn't make it into The Track) in this super-fun class. So, stick around and finish out your night of classes with Swingout Variations at 9pm on Tuesdays.
