I'M NEW TO SWING DANCING. WHERE DO I START?

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" 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 LEVEL 1 (& LEVEL 2)? DOES IT MATTER WHICH ONE I START WITH?
We want our students to develop a really solid foundation, so our Level 1 and Level 2 curriculum is designed to span 3 Series (Parts "A", "B" & "C".) These "A", "B" & "C" Series reinforce the same fundamentals while also providing completely new material in each course. It DOES NOT MATTER which Series ("A", "B" or "C") 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 a 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?
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 in a beginner class (Levels 1 & 2).
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.

1920s PARTNERED CHARLESTON
TUESDAYS
8pm - 9pm
* All Levels Welcome *
Here's your chance to learn one of the partnered dances that would eventually evolve into the Lindy Hop. This dance is a great addition to your dance catalogue, and it's perfect for spicing up your Lindy Hop or for dancing to faster music. Trust us... 1920s Partnered Charleston is The Bee's Knees... It's The Cat's Pajamas... It's... Well, you get the idea. It's A LOT OF FUN! Be sure to add 1920s Partnered Charleston (8pm on Tuesdays) to your Series Pass.
This eight-week course, developed by Rusty Frank and Ron Campbell, is designed for students* who want to bring their dancing to the next level. Each week features a unique set of exercises we've designed to help unlock your use of musicality, connection, and styling in your dancing. The motto of The Master Track is just as the song says... "'Tain't what you do, it's the way that you do it." Class size is limited (and evenly divided between leaders and followers) so that students receive more focused attention. Students are filmed each week, and the footage is studied as a group (in Lindy By The Sea's traditional upbeat, encouraging, and friendly environment) to examine individual areas of goals and progress. Enrollment is by invitation. If you're interested in The Master Track, please contact us at Classes@LindyByTheSea.com.
Please note: Pricing and enrollment in The Master Track is separate from our regular Series Passes. * Students should be well versed in our Beginning Thursday night curriculum and at have taken at least half of our Intermediate ("The Track") Lindy Hop courses or have social dancing equivalent.
