series & Drop-in classes
Our 4-week series start the first week of each month and include the following styles: Lindy Hop, Solo Jazz, and Balboa. We recommend taking the full series, but drop-ins are also available (Authentic Jazz & Jazz Fusion are intentionally drop-in friendly).
Perks
If you miss a week, don't worry! We can catch you up with weekly recap videos and extra help from an instructor at our Tuesday Community Night.
Community Night is included free during your enrollment in a 4-Week Series, giving you guaranteed practice space and access to instructor feedback each week. Think of it like a combination of office hours, practice space, and jazz lounge with snacks and board games.
