Hepcats!
Lexington, KY
 

Dedicated to the original swing dances of the
1930's and 40's
swing-era
Lindy Hop, Balboa & Collegiate Shag,
and the great swing music of that era!

Celebrating 11 years of teaching and promoting the best in all things swing dance!

Intermediate Lindy Hop

Continue to build on what you learned in the Beginner Class!
If you’ve completed the Hepcats Beginner Class, or you're familiar with Lindy Hop,
you should take this class!

Monday Nights - March 5th - April 2nd, 8:00-8:45 pm 

Cost:  $40 person ($35 students) (for the entire 5 week class series)

Location for these classes: Temple Adath Israel, Multi-Purpose Room,
124 N. Ashland Ave., Lex., KY.
   (For directions to Temple Adath Israel, click here.)

Class Description Info:  This class will take your swing dancing beyond the basics, but also continue to focus and strengthen solid technique.  We'll expand on previously learned material, adding different moves and variations to expand on the fundamentals, so you're learn new material, but also improve your footwork, connection, overall technique and style.  After taking these classes, you'll not only have more moves, but you'll feel more confident on the social dance floor!

Each 6 week intermediate class series is different and unique, with a different area of emphasis, so you can take intermediate level classes as long as you like. 

Are there Pre-requisites?  You should be familiar with the 8-count Lindy Hop (swingout from closed and open, and the Lindy Circle).  If you've taken the Hepcats Beginner Class, you're ready for this class!

Drop Ins.  This class is progressive.  Intermediate Class registration is closed after the second lesson of each class series.  This allows students to progress at a quicker pace, as instructors do not have to repeat lesson material every time new students drop in.

What about private lessons?
Private lessons are an excellent way to really improve your dancing.


•  Maybe you need some extra help with some of material from the beginner class.  Or perhaps you didn't quite get that cool but tricky pattern in the intermediate class.  A private lesson may be just what you need.

•  A big advantage to private lessons is that you get individual feedback and attention from working with the instructors. Private lessons can help solidify your dancing and help get you to the "next level".  Private lessons are great for learning material not covered in the Hepcats group classes. 

•  We all develop "kinks" and bad habits in our swing dancing.  Private lessons are one of the best ways to work those out before they become ingrained in our technique and "muscle memory".  And one of the best ways to learn to swing dance in the least time is with private lessons. 

Private lessons can be arranged for individuals or couples.
