A decision to embrace Lindy Hop Swing opens up an entirely new list of FAQ's about what to expect when you attend a Lindy Hop dance or lesson. Since none of us were born Lindy Hop swing dancers, we have all experienced this rite of passage and remember well our own anticipation prior to that first encounter with dance instruction. In fact, as you meet and get to know other dancers, a good question to ask is "how did you become involved with Lindy Hop Swing?" You may be surprised to learn that their story may be similar to yours.
