The Levels

At Lindy Spirit, we believe that everyone can learn to dance — and have a whole lot of fun while doing it!

We’re skilled teachers who specialize in zooming in on each person’s unique needs, helping you grow and progress in your own way.

Our classes are designed to empower you, whether you’re a complete beginner or a more experienced dancer looking to fine-tune your skills.

We focus on body leading, a technique that lets you connect effortlessly with your partner and respond in the moment. It’s not about rigid patterns or memorized steps — it’s about communication, creativity, and feeling the movement together.

We aim to foster a warm, inclusive scene where everyone feels at home, supported, and challenged at their own level. Above all, we value entertainment and fun — because when you enjoy what you’re doing, you learn faster and connect more deeply with the people around you.

Step into our world of Lindy Hop, and let’s bring this wonderful dance alive together!

We structure our classes into Beginners, Improvers, Intermediate, and Advanced, but we do it in a way that focuses on your progress and your pace — not competition.

We don’t follow a rigid curriculum or a fixed programme; instead, we adapt each lesson to the group’s needs and progress.

Everyone develops at their own speed — some people may need to repeat the beginners block to feel more comfortable, while others progress pick it up faster.

It’s not a race. It’s a journey — and we’ll let you know when we think you’re ready to move up a level. The most important thing is that you enjoy yourself and learn in a way that feels right for you.

Our Story

Lindy Spirit is a renowned Lindy Hop dance school in Amsterdam, founded in 2010 by Quinten and Sarah.

Inspired by innovative dance techniques emerging in France, they introduced a fresh approach to teaching in Amsterdam, focusing on the concept of "body leading." This technique emphasizes a more fluid, connection-based style, encouraging dancers to lead and follow through body movement rather than just hand signals.

Quinten and Sarah's dedication to creating a welcoming environment for dancers of all levels has made Lindy Spirit a vibrant hub for Lindy Hop enthusiasts in Amsterdam.

Over the years they've "raised" many students from beginner level to top dancers, teachers and competition winners

After Sarah left, Lucía joined in first as a teacher and then as coorganizer and designer, giving the school this renewed image we're proud to present today.
