What to Expect

Explore Harlem’s rich swing and jazz legacy on a short walking tour, then join a hands-on Lindy Hop class taught by Sam Coleman, a Harlem dance professional.

Get ready to smile and move to the infectious rhythm of the dance born right here in Harlem! The Lindy Hop and swing jazz grew up together, trading energy back and forth like best friends. When the big bands played a bouncy beat, the dancers bounced right back.In this fun, stress-free workshop, you will feel that history come alive. You'll catch the joyful musical pulse, learn to groove with the classic bounce, and playfully freestyle your steps so your feet "sing" along with the horns.

No experience or partner needed! Just bring your comfiest shoes and get ready for one hour of pure, historic happiness.
