PED 2111 - Swing Dances: An Exploration of Lindy Hop!

Credits: 1 hr
This course will teach the fundamentals of this flashy, athletic, and high-energy dance, introducing fundamental footwork, lead-and-follow technique, and Lindy Hop’s signature style. This is a beginner level class. The class has a progressive format which means we review and build upon previous weeks’ material each class. The course will also cover the history of The Lindy Hop which is an American dance that was born in the African American communities in Harlem, New York City and how it has evolved since then.
