I’ve danced other social dances before – do I really need to start as a beginner?
A. Yeah, you do. There are differences in dance connection, frame,rhythm and movement style that are integral parts of Lindy Hop and swing dancing in general, so you need to get those things ingrained, and those are taught at the beginner level. You may not need or want to repeat the beginning levels like other beginners do, but you should do them at least once to learn the differences. This is also true if you’ve learned swing dancing at a ballroom studio.
