SUMMARY:Lindy Hop Lesson Series - April and May 2026
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to partner with Dani Dowler\, a fabulous dancer\, as well as the Shaker Heights community to announce a Lindy Hop lessons series. Sign up here:\n\nhttps://shakerheights.recdesk.com/Commu…/Program/Detail…\n\nThis class will introduce you to Lindy Hop\, a wonderful swing dance that emerged from Harlem in the 1920s and took the world by storm. Students will be introduced to basic footwork\, rhythms\, and patterns with a focus on connection\, musicality\, and community. This will be a progressive class\, with each week building on the one before. Dancers are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing and get ready to have a great time!\n\nThis course is being offered on Fridays at 11:30 am from April 10 through May 15\, 2026. Cost is $50 for Shaker Heights residents and $75 for non-residents.\n\nDani Dowler started her movement journey in gymnastics because her mom figured if she was going to flip off the living room couch\, she might as well do it safely. Since then\, her love of movement has only grown – from competitive dance and gymnastics\, to cross-country\, to pole vault and high jump\, to dancing in the kitchen while cooking and taking nature ‘hikes’ with her nephews. She discovered swing dancing in 2006 in Cleveland and hasn’t looked back. She has a particular fondness for all things solo jazz\, Charleston\, and Lindy Hop; but mostly just enjoys exploring ways to move and groove with swing music. With a BA and MFA in dance\, 30ish years of performing experience\, and 20ish years of teaching experience\, Dani is passionate about bringing excitement\, honesty\, expression\, and body awareness to every class she teaches\, no matter the dance style.

SUMMARY:Flying Solo with Jo Hoffberg
DESCRIPTION:Cleveland Balboa Club is proud to present FLYING SOLO WITH JO HOFFBERG in CLEVELAND June 2026. \n40 dancers. 13 hours. One weekend that’s going to change how you move. Flying Solo is a weekend intensive for dancers who sense that there’s something bigger underneath the steps they’ve been collecting — and they’re right. \nThis isn’t figure-by-figure memorization. It’s learning how movement fits together: thinking about jazz steps as rhythms (instead of moves) in order to train more efficiently\, how to scaffold your own learning so new material actually sticks\, and how to build a practice that makes you better when nobody’s watching. We’ll use swing music and vernacular jazz shapes\, but we’ll also dance to r&b\, disco\, funk\, and house — because it all comes from the same tradition\, and if you can dance\, you can dance to any of it. \nYou’ll work on rhythm\, bounce\, body awareness\, arms\, musicality\, and improvisation – broken into layers you can actually practice on your own. By Sunday\, you won’t just know more things. You’ll understand how your body works\, how to chunk information instead of drowning in it\, and how to close the gap between the dancer you are right now and the dancer you want to be. \nJo Hoffberg has run Flying Solo in San Francisco\, Chicago\, Philadelphia\, Boulder\, NYC\, Berlin\, Munich\, and Wrocław. 92% of students say they’d do it again. 42% say it was worth more than they paid. Multiple editions have sold out. Dancers regularly travel from other cities to attend. \nOpen to All Levels (aimed at Intermediate and up). Brave beginners welcome. Register Here! \nOne of many fun and community focused dance events brought to you by the Cleveland Balboa Club. Want more dance goodness in your life? Check out other upcoming events\, including weekly lessons and Cleveland Swing Thing weekend dance workshops.

SUMMARY:Cleveland Swing Thing
DESCRIPTION:Cleveland Swing Thing is a new workshop weekend being hosted by the Cleveland Balboa Club from August 21-23\, 2026. Featuring a mixed dance floor\, lessons from your favorite instructors\, and an all-around great time\, this event will harken back to the idea that the dances we love developed on the same dance floors and we can dance to the music our body feels instead of limiting ourselves to a single dance\, rhythm\, or tempo. This year\, lessons will focus on blues\, balboa\, and collegiate shag\, with a fun addition of the Cleveland Shuffle and the social settings will broaden the options further to lindy hop\, charleston\, and whatever other movement your heart desires and dancers of all levels are invited to shuffle\, kick\, and groove to the music that grew up with these dances and learn how to bring them together for one truly fantastic swing dance. \nTrue to this mission\, our instructors are working to put together a program of mixed-level classes in a choose-your-own-adventure setting that will have options for both beginner and more advanced dancers alike. So whether you want to refine or build your skills or learn a new dance altogether\, you will find something for you. Class descriptions will be updated as the event gets closer\, so check back in after purchasing your pass so you can be prepared. There will also be three social dance opportunities and we are thrilled to partner with Burning River Swing to provide some amazing music. Our venues include a historic 1940s ballroom and another local gem situated right in the middle of where life happens in Cleveland. \nFor more information and to register\, check out the Cleveland Swing Thing page HERE. \n
