Lindy Jazz

“I’ve tried dancing before, but I got muddled.”

The good news is that getting muddled does not mean you can’t dance. It often means you were given too much too soon.

At Lindy Jazz, we break things down into small, manageable pieces so you can gradually build confidence.

You’ll learn simple, useful moves that can be used again and again, rather than trying to collect lots of complicated steps.

We want you to feel more comfortable, more musical and more confident each week.

Our new Lindy Jazz course starts Wednesday 9 September.

Early Bird tickets are now available.

Have you tried Ballroom or Latin and fancy something a little different?

Lindy Hop could be your next joyful dance adventure.

It’s a social swing dance full of rhythm, connection, playfulness and wonderful music. If you already enjoy dancing with a partner, you may love the relaxed, musical feel of Lindy Hop.

There are no medals, no exams and no pressure to look a certain way.

Instead, we help you build confidence, rhythm and partner connection in a friendly, supportive class.

Come and try something lively, vintage and full of character.

Our new Lindy Jazz course starts Wednesday 9 September in Durham.

Have you tried a dance class before and come away thinking…

“I didn’t quite get it.”
“Everyone else seemed to know what they were doing.”
“I felt a bit lost.”

You are not alone.

At Lindy Jazz, we know that learning to dance can feel confusing when there are too many steps, too many names, or too much to remember all at once.

That’s why our beginner-friendly Lindy Hop courses are taught clearly, simply and with plenty of time to practise.

We focus on helping you understand the dance in your body, not just copy steps.

You don’t need to be perfect.
You don’t need to remember everything straight away.
You just need to start.
