Class Description Info:  This class will take your swing dancing beyond the basics, but also continue to focus and strengthen solid technique.  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.  To expand on previously learned material, we use different moves and variations to expand on the fundamentals, so you're learning something new, but also improving 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!

Are there Pre-requisites?  You must be familiar with the 8-count Lindy Hop swingout (from closed and open), the Lindy Circle, and the side by side Lindy Charleston.

Drop Ins.  This 6 week class series is progressive.  Intermediate Class registration is closed after the second lesson of each 6-Week Class.  This allows students to progress at a quicker pace, as instructors do not have to repeat lesson material every time new students drop in.

**For this Class Series, mailed registration must be postmarked by March 18th; after this date, register at the door
       on March 23rd..

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.
