Swing Shift Lindy Hop

Hello hello! We're Tom and Corissa, your teachers at Swing Shift. We teach authentic Lindy Hop, true to its roots as an African American art form that’s over a century old. This partner dance isn’t about learning fixed sequences of moves – it’s about creating momentum and sensing and responding in real time, powered by banging jazz tunes. Full of creativity, playfulness and self-expression. Tom is a "technique fetishist" (oi oiiii) who has been known to teach Lindy Hop on the international stage, and Corissa is one of those people who used to say "I'll never be able to learn to dance" until she met Tom.

What to expect

In our classes, you'll learn: the dynamics of leading and following ... secrets of improvisational partner dancing ... the difference between structure and freestyle ... the power of musicality ... drills and exercises to get you feeling the groove ... a classic move or three ... solo jazz moves to spice things up ... and more. You can look forward to a true escape from the daily norm. You'll be able to push yourself ut of your comfort zone, connect with other people (and with yourself), and make mistakes that you can learn from and grow in confidence. You'll want to wear comfy, breathable clothes (think sports gear and trainers). And don't forget that water bottle!

About the class.

Get to know the class before your first visit.

Our invite-only performance troupe is for advanced Lindy Hop dancers. We learn challenging routines, we practise dancing to faster music, and we perform at occasional events throughout the year. Charged as a rolling subscription at £45/month (NOT per class), which also gets you entry to our intermediate class that takes place directly after the troupe sessions.

What to expect

High energy, loads of fun, banging jazz tunes! You will get sweaty ...

Who it is for

Experienced Lindy Hop dancers who are comfortable dancing at an advanced level. This probably means you've been dancing Lindy Hop regularly for at least 3 years, and you've got a pretty good level of fitness. You'll need to have been coming to our intermediate classes for several months.

Your first visit

As you'll already have been coming along to our intermediate classes before you join the performance troupe, there won't be any major surprises ;)
