WHO TAKES YOUR CLASSES?

I'M NEW TO SWING DANCING. WHERE DO I START?
Our beginner courses are on Thursday. You should start with our "ABCs of Swing" Course at 7pm on Thursday nights. Check our "Start Dates" (using the TAB above) to see when the next Series starts.
WHAT IS A SERIES?
A Series is a 4-week period of time during which several Courses are offered.
WHAT IS A COURSE?
A Course consists of 4 Lessons/Classes (one each week during a Series) on a single topic.
Example: Our Beginner "ABCs of Swing" Course at 7pm on Thursdays starting Jan 4th.
WHAT COURSES ARE OFFERED IN THE NEXT SERIES?
Click on the green "Next Series" TAB 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 .
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEN PARTS A, B & C IN THE THURSDAY NIGHT COURSES? DOES IT MATTER WHICH ONE I START WITH?
We want our students to develop a really solid foundation, so our "ABCs of Swing" and "ABCs of Lindy Hop" curriculum is designed to span 3 Series (Parts "A", "B" & "C".) These "A", "B" & "C" Series reinforce the same fundamentals while also teaching completely new material in each course. It DOES NOT MATTER which Series ("A", "B" or "C") you start with in learning your ABCs.
MAY I TAKE MORE THAN ONE COURSE AT A TIME?
Yes! As a matter of fact, you get a BIG discount on additional Courses taken in the same Series. Most people, who are absolute beginners, just start with the "ABCs of Swing". Then, the next series, they take the next part of the "ABCs of Swing" and add on the "ABCs of Lindy Hop".
CAN I JUST DROP IN?
In town for just a week or two? Want to try us out before getting a Series Pass? Yes, you can definitely drop in. The price is $22 for a single lesson. But we do ask that you don't drop in for the 3rd or 4th weeks of a beginner "ABCs" class unless it is just a refresher for you.
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, Strolls, 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.
