Crash Course @ The Secret Lair

Only $15.00!

Our two-hour, once-a-month Crash Course is a perfect way for beginners to jump in and see if Lindy Hop is a lifestyle choice that fits. We are always looking to grow our community, and welcome anyone to come give it a whirl! Our Crash Course focuses on swing rhythm and movement, partner Charleston variations, a few six count Lindy turns, and most of all FUN! We love this dance, and can't wait to share it with you! There will be several Scientists at every Crash Course rotating through the class to help you learn quickly.

You can pay online or bring fifteen bucks and pay at the door. If you decide you want to join our dance community, you can grab a 4-Lab Punchcard, which is good for any four Lindy Labs (they don't need to be consecutive). Punch Cards never expire!

If you are considering participation in this course, please visit our FAQ page for a few details about the studio and what to bring with you.

Instructors: Two of our qualified Mad Scientists, TBA.
