April 2025: Jams and Steals

Learn about the importance of the jam circle in Lindy Hop culture and embrace being a part of one, whether you are dancing in the center or supporting others as part of the circle.

In advance of DCLX, where at least one jam circle breaks out at each dance, you can develop comfort and appreciation for the circle and be ready to take part! You will also learn smooth and impressive ways to steal a partner mid-dance, a skill that’s especially used in jam circles that celebrate a particular community member such as our monthly birthday jam.
