Swing Era Steps

Swing Era Steps Dance studio in Indianapolis offering adult group lessons in Lindy Hop, Balboa, and Charleston

09/08/2026

This week (tonight!) we're working on Come Arounds! Let's dig into how we change the angle - or even the direction of rotation - and how that affects the type of exit we use.

Next week, we have Kyle Girtz coming out from Dayton to work on grapevines, reverse toss outs, and back pivots!

---> Missed the bootcamp, but want to hop in? Those familiar with Pure Bal basics are welcome to brush up during the practice tonight to join for the leason. Or catch us again on Sept 29th.

Lessons on the 1st floor at the Quixote
2104 E Washington St, Indianapolis, IN 46201
