We offer classes in lindy hop, blues, and solo jazz - and we’re looking to offer classes in even more styles. Our weekly classes run in blocks of five weeks and we teach around the Wellington region.
We offer classes at a great price. Even better - your first class is on us. It’s our way of giving you kudos for giving it a go.
We love teaching people to dance, and our goal is to make our classes as financially accessible as possible. We offer two options for classes depending on whether you can commit to the whole block.

If its your first time trying out a style of dancing that we offer, we’ll give you the class for free. We know learning to dance is a bit scary the first time, and this is our way of giving you kudos for giving it a go.
No! You’re more than welcome to turn up without a partner. Swing dancing is a social dance, and we will rotate partners during a class.
Whatever you feel comfortable moving in! We’ll get you moving, though, so make sure your clothes breathe - especially in summer! If you’re prone to sweating, it might be a good idea to bring an extra shirt.
It’s up to you! Most of us can do both roles. It’s a good idea to choose one role and stick with it until you feel comfortable.
We thinking about dancing like going on a road trip with someone.
The lead is the navigator - responsible for giving directions, and has a sense of where the ‘trip’ is going.
The follow is the driver - ultimately responsible for making the decision to go in a direction, and can choose to go on a ‘detour’ if they feel like it!
If you don’t feel comfortable rotating, you don’t have to rotate partners. It’s totally cool to stay with the same partner throughout the class. We reckon you’ll get the most out of dancing with a variety of people, but it’s totally up to you.
We recommend you do three blocks of lindy hop classes. This will give you a solid foundation in all three ‘styles’ - 8-count, 6-count, and partner Charleston. Intermediate classes build upon the foundations developed in the beginner classes.
Have a chat to us first, or better yet - have a dance with one of us! The likelihood is that you’ll be fine once you’ve picked up the foundations, but it may be worth doing a beginner block to get to grips with things.
We offer lindy hop classes at beginner and intermediate/advanced level. We also offer blues classes that are suitable for all levels. From time-to-time, we also offer solo jazz workshops, too!
It’s totally okay to offer feedback about how something feels as a lead or follow but try not give your partner feedback about their dancing. If you feel something is seriously wrong, ask a teacher to come over and help correct it.
Our blocks run for five weeks.
