History
Peter Strom decided to take his 10 years of expertise gained teaching Lindy Hop all around the world from Sweden to Korea to Australia and parts in between and put it to good use in his home town of Minneapolis. Since 2010 Uptown Swing has been a community where new dancers can be introduced to this amazing dance, the Lindy Hop, and where current Lindy Hoppers can come to take their dancing to the next level. We've run classes every week for more than 2 years now, with special events and big dances occasionally in the works. We're always up to something!
Specialties
We teach swing dancing, specifically the Lindy Hop. That's all we do and we believe we are the best in town at doing it. Our instructors hold first place titles at the International Lindy Hop Championships, the American Lindy Hop Championships, the US Open Swing Dance Championships, & the Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown among others. We have 20+ combined years of national and international level instruction under our belts and we use that experience to make a super fun and welcoming experience for all of our students. We will get you moving and dancing right away and if you give us a month or two, we will make a Lindy Hopper out of you - join us!
