At Sugar Hill Hop, our Thursday night classes offer the perfect opportunity to learn the joyful art of the Lindy Hop. Whether you’re taking your first steps or looking to enhance your existing skills, we’ve got you covered with two fantastic classes that will get you moving and grooving.
Doors to our first class opens at 6:50 PM then runs to 7:50 PM and is perfect for beginners or those building their foundations. The second class follows from 8:00 PM to 8:50 PM, focusing on improvers and intermediate steps plus techniques for dancers ready to expand their repertoire. You’re welcome to join either class individually for £15 per class.
We believe in making dancing accessible and rewarding, which is why we offer our popular class cards. For £110, you’ll get 10 classes – that’s a saving that you can use across any of our Thursday sessions. No partner is needed, as we rotate partners throughout the class, creating a friendly and social atmosphere where everyone can learn and have fun together. Just bring comfortable shoes, a water bottle, and your enthusiasm!
After class
After class, we share learning review videos to help you revisit, recap, and refine what you’ve covered – supporting your ongoing progress. These videos are shared within a group (details to join that group will be available in class) where you can ask questions about the material and receive additional context about the dance, its history, and its techniques.
At Sugar Hill Hop, we’re passionate about more than just teaching steps – we are dedicated to sharing the rich history and cultural roots of the Lindy Hop, honouring its African-American origins. By connecting the movements to their heritage, we aim to deepen your appreciation for the dance.
We want your dance journey to be about more than movement – it’s about connection, expression, and growth. Whether you’re dancing for fun, fitness, or aiming to perform, you’ll find a welcoming space where you can thrive.
