Why
Learn to Swing Dance
with the Hepcats?
We teach the original swing dances of the swing-era, accept no substitutes!
Already know some
swing dance? Move beyond
"step, step, rock step" and take
the challenge
to
be a Lindy Hopper!
Learn
Balboa! To be a well-rounded
and versatile swing-era swing dancer, you
need to learn - and embrace - Balboa! Plus
it's really cool to dance effortlessly to
200 bpm while other dancers just watch
and wonder how you do that!!
It's a great way to meet people.
Dancing will help you stay
physically active.
Men's Health
magazine named
Lexington the
least active city in the nation. Obviously they
haven't
been to a Hepcats event!
Learn from instructors with the knowledge, experience and expertise
to get you out on the dance floor,
looking cool and
