Three Wednesdays: October 14, 21 & 28 | 7–8 PM | Cat’s Corner
Ready to mix up your Lindy Hop? This October, we’re combining Swing Rueda with Intermediate Lindy Hop technique for three Wednesdays of group dancing, partner switching, and swingout exploration!
Register for the remaining 3-week series or drop in for a single class!
What is Swing Rueda?
Imagine a circle of Lindy Hoppers, all dancing together, performing the same moves in sync, and switching partners on the fly!
Inspired by Cuban Salsa Rueda, Swing Rueda takes familiar Lindy Hop moves—swingouts, circles, turns, Charleston, and more—and turns them into a playful group dance. A caller announces each move, and the whole circle responds together.
It’s a fun challenge for experienced Lindy Hoppers: you’ve already got the vocabulary, but now you’re listening for calls, reacting quickly, adapting to different partners, and keeping the whole circle moving!
What We’ll Work On
Each one-hour class combines two complementary approaches:
40 minutes — Swing Rueda
We’ll build our repertoire of Rueda calls, partner changes, and group patterns over three weeks. Expect familiar Lindy Hop moves in a new context, some entertaining surprises, and plenty of opportunities to dance with different partners.
20 minutes — Intermediate Lindy Hop Technique
We’ll also spend time refining essential skills that carry directly into your social dancing, including:
- Forward, backward, and rotational swingout technique
- Mixing 6-count and 8-count patterns
- Improving connection, timing, and movement dynamics
It’s a chance to sharpen your fundamentals while exploring something a little different!
