The NOLA Jitterbugs teach swing dancing (specifically Lindy Hop ) from an evolutional, historical, & a musically intuitive perspective.

Beginners learn 8 count rhythms first, not 6, we use pre-swing era/ragtime dances as exercises in leading and following and to discuss the history of the music and dance, and we always have LIVE MUSIC in the last class of the series.
