South West Lindy Hoppers

Lindy Hop - The Original Big Band Swing Dance

We are a group of Lindy Hop enthusiasts founded in 2004, based in the Exeter area who enjoy and promote this unique social dance for all age groups.

Formed in 2004 because there was no Savoy Style Lindy Hop in the area, we are the only group of this kind attracting dancers from the whole of the South West region holding regular beginners classes, practice sessions, workshops demonstrations and pure swing dances.

Monthly Lindy Hop workshops are held, guest teachers have included Graeme and Ann (Hoppin' Mad), Ryan Francois and Jenny Thomas, Gary and Sarah Boon and Russell and Delores from the Jiving Lindy Hoppers!

All ages and abilities are welcome. No need to bring a partner. Meet like minded dancers in helpful and friendly surroundings.

We are looking for new members all the time

If you want to enhance your dancing (be it Jive, Ceroc, Leroc or Rock 'n' Roll) add that extra something, stand out from the crowd then Lindy Hop is the dance for you!
