Lindy Hop is an African American vernacular dance created in New York City during the Harlem Renaissance. Danced to jazz music, the Lindy Hop, like all swing dancing, is improvisational and done with partners through social dancing.

For over ten years, SwingCal has taught Berkeley students how to swing dance in a fun and relaxed environment. The class teaches the history of swing dance and music, as well as the modern swing culture that now exists all over the world. We meet once a week, have a few take home assignments per semester, and no partner is required!

This class is aimed for students with no swing dancing experience. Attending the info session on February 3rd (7-9pm in Dwinelle 109) is MANDATORY--please do not fill out the interest form until you've done so. We'll accept students on a first come, first served basis.
