Lindy Lab
Camp Hollywood Prep Session
With Mikey, Nikki, Andrew, Kelly, and Andrea

Saturday, August 15, 2026
11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
ATOMIC Ballroom

Get your Lindy Hop ready for Camp Hollywood with Lindy Lab, a focused two-hour practice session built for dancers who want time to work, ask questions, collaborate, and get help from mentors in the room. This is not a regular class or workshop. It is a guided practice space designed to help dancers train with purpose before one of the biggest swing dance weekends of the year.

For the full two hours, the room will be open for practice, feedback, questions, and focused work time with support from Mikey, Nikki, Andrew, Kelly and Andrea. You can use the session to clean up something you have been working on, get help with your social dancing, run competition material, ask for feedback, work through ideas with a partner, or simply spend time practicing with more direction than a normal social dance setting.

What Makes Lindy Lab Different

Lindy Lab is part practice room, part collaboration space, part dance training session. It is designed to give dancers time to actually work on their dancing with support nearby. Instead of learning new material and leaving right away, you will have time to repeat, refine, ask questions, make adjustments, and get more comfortable with the things you are trying to improve.

This is a great fit if you are getting ready for Camp Hollywood, preparing for a competition, wanting feedback on your dancing, or looking for a more focused way to practice your Lindy Hop. Come ready to dance, train, experiment, collaborate, and make your dancing feel stronger before camp.
