Welcome

Welcome to Hop to the Beat Dance Studio. We are based in the Boston, Massachusetts, USA area and specialize in Lindy Hop. Lindy Hop is the original form of Swing or Jitterbug partner dancing. It is danced to all tempos of Swing music, starting with 1920's hot Jazz and smokin' Blues, Big Band Swing and Jazz Combos of the 1940s to today, the infectious energy of Jump Blues and Boogie Woogie, '50s Rock 'n' Roll, and also includes Rhythm & Blues and many of today's popular contemporary tunes. With a character all its own, fun and exuberant, Lindy Hop is hard to resist! We offer a complete program including a full range of classes from absolute beginner on up, friendly dances for all levels, an International Workshop Series, our annual Beantown Lindy Hop Camp and Northeast Lindy Hop Championships, performances, and many other Lindy Hop related events.

Hop to the Beat Dance Studio also offers regular classes in Hip Hop. Danced to contemporary music, it's the kind of non-partner dancing often seen in today's music videos.
