Dance Ambassadors
Dance Ambassadors is a program designed to help new dancers to Toronto learn the ropes. The goal is to serve as role models and ambassadors for the dance and help spread the joy of the dance. The inspiration for the Dance Ambassador program comes from the ultimate ambassador of Lindy Hop, Frankie Manning.
Theme Nights
Once a month Toronto Lindy Hop, in conjunction with Swing Toronto, hosts a community night. The purpose is to build community by providing new ways for Lindy Hoppers to connect. The evening often includes a special themes and is a great opportunity to meet new people.
World of Floorcraft
Floorcraft is basically an awareness of your partner, other dancers, musicians, staff and other guests with whom you share the dance space. Good floorcraft means dancing effectively without bumping into others and generally contributing to a pleasant and safe dancing experience for everyone. World of Floorcraft aims to instil best dance practices in Toronto dancers.
Open Practice Sessions
Toronto Lindy Hop’s newest initiative is once per month practice sessions that are open to all dancers of all levels. We identified a need in the Toronto Lindy Hop community, that dancers wanted more practice time in a real dance space without paying expensive studio rental fees.
Special Events/Workshops
Toronto Lindy Hop organizes and hosts several Special Events throughout the year including workshops and social events. We hope to see you at one of our events soon!
