WE TEACH THE LINDY HOP!
If you can have fun and smile at the same time, you're halfway there -
just like it was in the 1930's, the music will take care of the rest!

YOUR TEACHERS
Luke Healy
Luke's swing dancing journey started in March 2016 at a free intro class at North Perth, and has been dancing ever since! In 2018 he joined the Savoy Stomp performance team and started teaching in 2019.
His favourite dance moment (so far) has got to be traveling to Sweden over Christmas and New Years with a group of friends to take part in the Snowball dance weekend!
Gemma J Frampton
Gemma's Lindy Hop journey began way back when in 2010. Since then she has swung out on dance floors across the globe, chasing the wide eyed smiles and good times that this phenomenal dance never fails to deliver.
Gemma has been teaching since 2014 and loves to bring as much passion, energy, personality and knowledge as possible to whatever room she's in!
THE FINER DETAILS
When and where are classes?
You can find us every Tuesday from 6.30pm at North Perth Town Hall, 26 View Street, North Perth
No booking required, just drop in on the night!
How much does it cost?
The price for a single class is $20, or you can enjoy 5 classes for the price of 4 with our $80 Class Pass!
What should I bring?
A water bottle, comfy shoes, a sweat towel, and a smile! On a hot night a change of shirt is recommended.
Do I need to bring a partner?
Not at all but the more the merrier! Lindy Hop is a social dance, we rotate partners throughout
each class so that everyone can enjoy dancing with each other.
How does it work?
Level 1 is a 5 week syllabus made for beginners! Each week covers a fundamental part of the dance required for Level 2
and we repeat the same syllabus every 5 weeks. Start any week, in any order - your Level 1 journey starts when you do!
Level 2 is our intermediate class, building on the basics learned in Level 1.
Playing with rhythm, delving into technique - this is where the dance really comes alive!
I have danced [insert dance style] before, can I skip the beginner lessons?
If you have danced before, you will understand how important knowing the fundamentals are, not only
for your safety but that of your partner. The decision for a student to go to Level 2 before
completing our Level 1 Syllabus is at the sole discretion of the teachers.
