A full day of learning, dancing, and community.

Heartland SwingIn! is more than just a workshop, it's an opportunity to grow your dancing, connect with fellow Lindy Hoppers, and invest in our Midwest swing community.

☀️ Morning: Our Instructor Workshop is a dedicated professional development session for local Lindy Hop instructors. This invitation-only workshop focuses on sharing ideas, refining teaching techniques, and helping our local instructors continue to grow so they can better serve dancers in our community.

💃 Afternoon: Join us for 2 hours of a Lindy Hop workshop designed for dancers with previous Lindy Hop experience (Lindy Hop Level 1 or equivalent)

🍽️ Evening: Put your new skills to work at the social dance and stick around for our optional community potluck!

Workshop spots are limited, so be sure to reserve yours early.
