Hustle
Duration: 1 hour; $15; The Hustle is a disco dance that emphasizes the swing and movement of two partners, and it comes in both a New York and LA form.

Both reflect the speed and glamor of the disco era, and in this class you'll learn the basics to this social dance that is perfect for the energy and vibrancy of a nightclub.

Lindy Hop & Charleston
Duration: 1 hour; $15; The Lindy Hop and The Charleston are two of America's most energetic dances. The Lindy Hop and the Charleston were both popular ballroom dances that came out of the free, swinging jazz era of the 1920s and the frenetic bustle of the city. The Lindy Hop, which originated in Harlem, involves a swing out between two partners. The Charleston has a signature knee-knocking move, along with swinging your heels out on each move. They are both fast and fun ways to work out and learn a classic dance from American history.
