Beginner Lindy Hop Classes & Courses
Every place in the UK you can start Lindy Hop from scratch: 109 weekly classes that welcome complete beginners, and 59 dated beginner workshops and socials with a taster class. No partner needed at most of them.
Which should I choose?
- Drop-in class: turn up any week. Easiest way to try it.
- Course: a block of weeks that builds step by step – the fastest way to improve, but you need to start on week one.
- Dance in a day: a single afternoon workshop that takes you from nothing to dancing at a social.
- Social with a taster: a short beginners' lesson, then a whole evening to practise.
Before you go, read your first Lindy Hop class and what to wear.
