Are there any prerequisites to join the course?
No dance experience is necessary as everything will be explained in a step-by-step system, but you do need to be in good health. If you have about 5 minutes a day to practise, that's a bonus but not compulsory.
Can I just swing by instead of committing to a course?
The Jazz Social doesn’t require booking—just swing by and pay £4 on the door!
Dance classes, however, are only available as a pre-bookable course. Don’t worry if you can’t make every session—there’s no need to attend in person each week, and many dancers dip in and out as life allows.
When can I join the course?
When you join the course you have immediate access to all the online class materials. The next course starts on 30 April and the course after that on 11 June.
Is this a beginner or advanced course?
The courses at Lindy Jazz are carefully designed to ensure that dancers of all or no dance experience will benefit from every single class. There are options in every class so you can choose to take it easy or take on the more exciting moves. The choice is yours!
Will we learn a routine or will we be learning to social dance?
You will be learning the skills to social dance for fun.
What kind of steps will we learn?
You will get to build the foundations for swing dance which will include Triple Steps, Rock Steps, 6 & 8-count basics, 1920s and 1930s Charleston, solo jazz and techniques for social dancing.
What should I wear?
Wear casual, comfortable clothes for the classes. As most people are coming straight from work, very few people have time to dress up - this we reserve for our weekend social events. We recommend that you change from your work clothes into something fresh and comfortable that allows you to move easily. In terms of shoes, wear comfortable shoes with a smooth sole.
What is a Jazz Social?
This an opportunity to relax and enjoy listening DJ Andy's Swing playlist and / or enjoy social dancing.
What if I join the course and decide it’s not for me and want to cancel my course membership?
For some people, trying something new is exciting. For others, trying something new may feel uncomfortable. You may or may not see immediate results after the first class. We recommend that you attend the whole course before making up your mind as it may take time to feel the full benefits of the course.
We are confident that if you attend all 6 classes in-person or virtually and practise for 5 minutes a day, you will have a few fun moves under your belt.
If you can show us that after attending all 6 classes in-person or virtually and submitting your 5-minute practice videos each and every week via www.wetransfer.com, you are still not making progress, email us we will offer you a refund!
