Queer Lindy Hop is Lindy Hop by, for, and in celebration of LGBTQIA+ people. It is both an approach to partner dancing and a perspective on it—one that honors the Black and Queer roots of jazz and swing-era dances. Queer Lindy reimagines social dancing through an inclusive lens, celebrating diverse and intersectional identities and creating space for everyone to express themselves fully on the dance floor.
If you count yourself as an ally, or someone who hangs in queer spaces and understands how to not center yourself while respecting others - you will be very welcome and enjoy our classes!
Our Classes are ELEF: Everybody Leads, Everybody Follows
All our classes follow an ELEF model—Everybody Leads, Everybody Follows—at every level. This not only breaks down traditional gender roles but also creates dynamic, musical, and compassionate dancers. Plus, it’s incredibly fun!
Switch & Fluid Lindy Hop
Switch dancing means changing roles mid-dance. Fluid Lindy Hop means anyone can lead or follow, while on either "side" of the partnership and of course regardless of gender. These approaches, deeply influenced by queer dancers, challenge traditional partner dance norms and embrace a more expressive, non-binary way of dancing.
