Intermediate Series and Practice Session

The Lindy League has teamed up with the Wednesday night dance at the Northampton Center for the Arts to offer a beginner- and intermediate-level progressive lindy hop series. Both classes run concurrently and start at 6pm, Wednesdays. Mark, Christine, Camille, Tricia, and Joanna will be taking turns teaching the classes.

The LL likes to mix it up from month to month, so that the intermediate class will cover many topics, such as Charleston and Solo Jazz, in addition to Lindy Hop. Occasionally, a Balboa series will be offered instead of the Intermediate Lindy Hop class.

The intermediate series is not for beginners. Please check with your instructor to see if you are ready to move to the intermediate level.

The Wednesday night classes will be followed by a mixed genre dance at the Center for the Arts from 8:30-11:00pm.

Cost: $5 for each lesson, $10 for the lesson and the dance. If you want to take another one of the classes offered, you can get two classes and the dance for $15.

Location: Northampton Center for the Arts, 17 New South Street, Northampton, MA
