Want to start to Lindy Hop? You found the right place.
In this course you will learn the basics of Lindy both as leader and as follower. You will explore basic rhythms, patterns and fundamental ideas of partner connection and improvisation. You will also learn some of those cool moves lindy hoppers have been rocking since the 1920’s.
NOTE: This is an ELEF (Everybody leads, everybody follows) course. All participants will learn the basics from the perspective of the follower and leader.
From the Improvers level on, you can either choose to continue with both roles or specialize in one.
For this course the only requirement is a strong attitude to work outside the comfort zone. We’ll progress in the course content much quicker than in our normal beginners and will shift to more demanding stuff earlier.
If you are ready for the ride, welcome!
No previous experience needed. No partner required.
We’ll keep changing partners and roles during the classes.
Register for the course via this Holvi web store. (Add to basket, checkout, and complete the purchase/payment.)
You can join the course with a partner/friend or without. We change (rotate) partners all the time during the classes.
You'll receive an order confirmation via email after the purchase.
The Beginners level lasts one season.
If you need more practice, you can retake Lindy Hop Beginners free of charge the next season.

Lindy hop is an energetic and rhythmical dance that emerged in the African-American communities in Harlem, New York, during the late 1920’s. It became a dance craze with the popularisation of jazz music by artists like Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman and countless others.
In Lindy hop both partners are invited to improvise within the flow of the dance and to have an equal voice. Lindy Hop is now growing faster than ever all over the planet. Are you ready to hop into jazz and swing world and swing out with us?
