*  "Gentle" Lindy Hop

Since our int./adv. East Coast Swing students have become more comfortable with 8 count Swing, it invites weaving in some fun and stylish Lindy Hop moves into our dancing, while aiming at key moves done well and safely, hence gently.

Even though Lindy Hop has become famous first in the 1930s with aerial moves and decades later with an energetic revival in the 80s and 90s, including a strong interest by teens and young adults in Portland at the Crystal Ballroom, with up to 1000 dancers on a weekly basis and to life music by bands flown in from across the country, we are aiming for key Lindy Hop elements that can be executed at any age. No lifts etc., but a solid understanding of the Swing-Out done well and to your partner's ability.

Lindy Hop is what got me into teaching dance and enjoying it for 9 years, before discovering the wonderful waltz community and teaching with Colleen in Portland. We are excited to bring back Lindy Hop to a new group of dancers!
