Benefits of Lindy Hop

International Community

In this day and age, Lindy Hop isn't only danced in almost every major city in the United States, but is very popular across the globe, including Canada, Sweden, France, Korea, England, Australia and many others. Many dancers travel to different areas to learn new moves, to broaden their dance vocabulary and meet other people with a similar passion. Lindy hoppers are typically happy to open their homes and refrigerators to traveling dancers, so seeing the United States and the world is much more accessible.

Meet People

Lindy hop is a very social dance that attracts a wide variety of people. We rotate partners in class and encourage them to make friends within the dance community. Dancers are very supportive people, and are very encouraging among their peers. Lindy hop is an excellent venue to artistically experiment and create.

Great Exercise

There is no question that dancing is a physically demanding art form. Our classes are active and fun, combining hand-eye coordination and overall body coordination with rhythm and timing of music.

Dance and You Health
Sixwise - Here they mention swing dancing as being an OK calorie burner. That would be for ballroom swing. We do a more energetic form of swing dancing (as you can see from the videos) which would burn many more calories than what is listed.
