This class series allows you to learn new material and build on what you've learned in the Beginner Class.  Each 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.  If you’ve completed the 6-Week Beginner Class, you should take these classes!

(Note:  The material taught in this class series will be different from the material taught in the Oct. 4th Lindy Hop workshop.)

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.
