Forest City Swing Thursday Night Lessons:

Forest City Swing will start teaching the Lindy Hop on Thursday nights starting this Thursday 3/4/10! Lindy Hop is a more diverse and fun dance, a little difficult to learn, but don’t worry, we will be teaching Lindy for begginners. We believe you will like the Lindy Hop even better than the 6-count. Admission is still the same. Every week we will be teaching 45 minutes of Lindy Lessons. Be there on time as with the Lindy, it is very difficult to “jump in” on the lessons if you are late. See you all there!
