Perth Swing Dancing

The Swing Academy specialises in teaching the Lindy Hop. It's a cool, fun, expressive, exciting and superlative-attracting dance style that started back in the day. There are quite a number of partnered "Swing Dances" that we know of - Balboa, Collegiate Shag, ´20s Charleston, Blues Dancing and Vintage Foxtrot. But the Granddaddy of them all is the Lindy Hop, and it's what we specialize in here at the Swing Academy. See the What is the Lindy Hop? page for more details and some cool videos!!!!

 

        

Beginners 4 week Courses

Here´s where the fun starts. These two four-week courses will give you all the skills you need to get out on the social dance floor and do the Lindy Hop. 

Lindy Hop A

This course covers the 6 beat basic, the send out, the bring in, passbys and some fun, socially leadable moves. This course also introduces the Charleston, a classic Savoy Lindy Hop pattern.

Lindy Hop B

In this 4-week course, we introduce you to the 8 beat basic and a bunch of classic Lindy Hop Patterns.  These include the Swingout, the Swingout from closed and the Lindy Circle.

We recomend students complete both courses, before starting the Intermediate drop-in classes however, confident dancers may complete Lindy Hop B and step straight into the Intermediate classes while doing Lindyhop A classes. NOTE: You can start with Lindy Hop A or B. The courses are designed to be independent of each other and to be taken in no particular order.

  • 4 week courses - $60
  • High school students - $45
