Learn to Lindy Hop
Ready to become a Lindy Hopper? Whether you're new to swing dancing, or you've taken some drop-in classes in recent months.... if you’re ready to progress from Beginner to Intermediate, our Novice Learning Group is your next stop.
This is a ±3.5-month progressive course, where a CTS senior teacher will help you string together the essentials of becoming a social lindy hopper (including swing outs and 8-count vocab, tuck-turns and other 6-count basics, charleston fundamentals, solo jazz ABCs, partner technique and communicating rhythm changes, swing music structure & musicality in dance, history & culture of swing…).
We have NEW Novice groups starting:
Friday 6th Ocober 2023 in City Center
Tuesday 7th November 2023 in Muizenberg
Wednesday 10th January 2024 in Observatory
The Observatory class is open to drop-in visitors from 22 November this year.

I’ve never seen a lindy hopper who wasn’t smiling. It’s a happy dance. It makes you feel good.
