Specialties
Our passion is Lindy Hop, the swing dance that originated in Harlem, mainly during the 1930’s and 40’s. At ChileSwing, our aim is to teach dancing in a social setting. Our focus is on lead/follow techniques that allow us to dance with everyone, from new swing dancers to experienced Lindy Hoppers. We teach fun dance steps that will enable you to dance with anyone. Lindy Hop is a fun way to meet new friends, get some exercise, and enjoy great music. Come out and dance with us!
