If you are new to dance, swing dance or lindy hop specifically, start with Beginner Lindy Hop. This is a great introduction to the style of dance and the music we dance to.
If you have swing dance experience already, please reach out to Red Aces leadership to chat about where you best fit. You can reach us through the CONTACT page, or email redacesdanceclub@gmail.com.

For Beginner lessons, it’s best to attend all 6 lessons or only miss one. This is because the content really builds from week to week and if you miss more than one, you may get behind the rest of the class.
For Intermediate lessons, it’s recommended to attend all or most of the lessons, but it’s more feasible to catch up if you miss a few weeks of the set.
Drop-in pricing is available if you know you won’t make the entire set.
-
Drop-in pricing is NOT AVAILABLE for Beginner lessons. This is because it’s best to attend all 6 lessons in the set, or only miss one. The content really builds from week to week and if you miss more than one, you may get behind the rest of the class.
Drop-in pricing is AVAILABLE for Intermediate and Advanced lessons. It is typically $12 per class. Drop-in payments are only accepted at the door, not online.

Clothes - whatever you feel comfortable to move in. Folks come in everything from casual dresses to T-shirts and jeans to athletic wear.
Shoes - please wear INDOOR SHOES you feel comfortable to move in. In this style on dance it’s best to have a little bit of slide on the dancefloor, so don’t bring your “grippiest” shoes.
To help you have the best dance experience!
