To lower one's demand; eat humble pie.

We are a group of Mad Lindy Scientists

who came together to jump-start and grow Charlottesville's Lindy scene. Our mission is to share this life-changing dance by hosting weekly Lindy Labs, Monthly LabDances and Annual Lindy Experiments for our fellow dance enthusiasts to enjoy. 

We believe that Lindy Hop is the happiest dance on earth, and that everyone, YES EVERYONE! should learn how to Lindy! We've not only seen it change and enrich our own lives, but the lives of countless people of all ages from coast to coast.

Lindy Hop is a really healthy habit to have, and we promise to encourage that habit by designing workshops and dances not only in Lindy Hop, but in Charleston, Balboa and Blues as well.

We work with venues and wonderful bands around town to give you plenty of chances each week to get out there and practice your moves on real dance floors in fun and non-intimidating social dance settings. We promise to always have some Mad Scientists at each of our sponsored events, and we love to dance with beginners!

Check out our events calendar to see where we'll be next. We'll save a dance for you!
