Swing It! Beginner Workshops

This is the ground floor and your introduction to the world of Lindy Hop.  Our Beginner Workshops are the perfect way to start since we’ll teach you how to Swing dance in just one afternoon!  Not only that but we’ll also feature some incredible dance clips from the original era as well as clips showcasing some of today’s best dancers.  You’ll be guaranteed a fantastic, fun filled afternoon where you’ll not only learn to dance but also enjoy a peek into the history and culture of this incredible dance.

Our workshops are held once a month on a Sunday and run through the afternoon (approx 4hrs with breaks).  Check our main page for times and locations.

Swing It! also run weekly classes several nights a week at multiple locations around Perth:

Every Monday night in Subiaco
Every Tuesday night in West Perth
Every Wednesday night in Subiaco
Every Wednesday night in Fremantle

Our weekly classes are run at three different levels:

Lindy 1 - This is where the real Lindy Hop journey begins.  Once you’ve done one of our Beginner Workshops you’re welcome to take part in this class.  Here we explore the basic moves further and show you a range of styling and variations you can add to your dancing.  Lindy 1 classes are easy, relaxed and a whole lot of fun.

Lindy 2 - This is the intermediate level class.  Here we explore the classic moves and rhythms of the Lindy Hop further with a greater emphasis on lead and follow techniques, musical appreciation and of course FUN!  The moves will become a little trickier and the speeds will be a little faster but all are welcome.

Lindy 3 - This class is for the more advanced students. If you’ve been dancing for a while and feel its time to take your dancing to the next level this is the class for you. Lindy 3 focuses on the more intricate and complex side of the Lindy Hop. You need to be experienced but all are welcome!
