    Classes in Dublin

    All beginners classes are suitable for anyone with no experience! You don't need to come with a partner. To sign up for improvers, you'll have been dancing for at least 6 months and have an understanding of the basics, and looking to consolidate what you've learnt, and learn some more moves and styling. For intermediate courses, you'll have been Lindy Hopping for over 2 years, be confident with classic Lindy Hop moves and rhythms and ready to challenge yourself and turn some heads on the dance floor. If you're not sure which class will suit you, do call Jessica to discuss on 086 818 5537.
