Lindy Hop lessons continue this Wednesday March 11th at the Gulfport Casino Swing Night. Last week, we covered Moves #1 through #6 in our Lindy Hop progression; this week, after reviewing Moves 1-6, we'll add Moves 7-9. Get to the ninth move and you'll know all of the basic Lindy Hop patterns! Swing Time instructors, Sam & Bri, will get you dancing Lindy Hop using our unique one-step-at-a-time approach, where each move builds upon the previous by varying exactly one step.
