 What is Lindy Hop?
The original form of jive - smooth and swinging, we incorporate authentic jazz steps and rhythm for a fun, creative partner dance.
The Lindy Hop that we teach at Jitterbugs Swingapore is now widely known as the Savoy style of Lindy Hop, because it originated from the 1930s Savoy Ballroom.
Fun and grooving, Lindy Hop is a partner dance to Big Band swing music. An internationally acclaimed set of teachers will show you how it's done!
LH 1 and 2 are 8-week courses.
LH 3 consists of 4-week courses.
Lindy Hop 1 (8-week course)
Our Lindy 1 courses are progressive 8-week classes (one hour per week) that cover two of the fundamental patterns, including the 8-beat pattern that is the characteristic of Lindy Hop. The Lindy Turn, Lindy Circle and Swing Out start you off. At the same time, you will also learn some authentic jazz steps and the 6-count pattern (aka East Coast Swing).
Lindy Hop 2 (2 x 8-week courses)
You need to take Lindy 1 before you commence Lindy 2. Our Lindy 2 classes are 8-week courses with 2 syllabi [A] and [B], which means that you will finish the 2 syllabi over 16 weeks before doing Lindy Hop 3. Here we continue to hone your skills of lead and follow in the 8-count basics plus we add the last of the three fundamental patterns - the charleston. We will also be sharing more jazz steps with you. Together with what you've learnt in Lindy 1, you will be able to Lindy Hop with any other Lindy Hopper in the world!
 Lindy Hop 3 (4-week courses)
[Currently unavailable.] With effect from Apr 2010, we are introducing a new series of Lindy Hop 3 classes in bite-size 4-week courses. Specially designed to introduce different variations of Lindy Hop, these mini courses are taught progressively so we can build up the techniques in a consistent manner. Suitable for anyone who’s completed Lindy Hop 2.
