Stuart will be running a 3-week class series from May 13th to May 27th. This series will focus in on the root-of-all-swing dance, the Charleston. We’ll have classes on integrating Charleston into the lindy hop, solo Charleston, and taking the Charleston beyond ‘break time’ during a song. Making Charleston look cool, instead of hopping up and down and kicking in place.

No partner is required for this workshop.

To sign up for this class, please go to the sign up page and RSVP for the 3-week series. Be sure to include your name, email address, and your lead/follow role when you sign up.

As with all our series, each class will be $5.

Whoa! By strokes of luck and genius, we LABtechs have managed to book two of best and most celebrated Lindy hoppers in the world to come teach a workshop in Philly. On Saturday, May 31st, the couple will be teaching four intermediate-level Lindy classes.

Registration is open for the workshop. In addition, the Boilermaker Jazz Band will be playing that very night just a rock step and a jump away!
