Lindy Focus is a week long swing dance camp held in Asheville, NC. Known for our incredible live music, we offer 5 nights of swing jazz orchestra music that culminate in a spectacular New Year’s Eve party - countdown & toast included.

In addition to offering over 100 hours of social dancing opportunities throughout the week, we also offer 100 hours of class. This year, classes are divided into tracks to help you hone in your learning, build community with your classmates, and meet other folks in your niche.

Outside of classes, we offer a variety of community activities to help you learn, grow, create, and challenge yourself.

Thursday, Dec 26, 2025 to Wednesday, January 1, 2026.

Lindy Focus is held at the Crowne Plaza Resort Asheville: 1 Resort Dr, Asheville, NC 28806. Find travel information here.

Housing is not included in your registration. Most attendees choose to stay at the Crowne Plaza Resort, where all Lindy Focus activities take place.

Lindy Hop dance events are a great way to meet new people, learn new dances, and have a lot of fun. You can expect to see a variety of different dance styles, from beginner to advanced. There will also be live music, so you can enjoy dancing to the sounds of swing, jazz, and blues. We will have community activities during the day that allow you to meet new friends and learn more about our community history and culture. We will also hold a variety of class tracks for those who love to learn.

There will not be level testing for track placements - you may self-place into beginner or all level tracks.

Advanced tracks will have a short skills assessment (with move prerequisites shared well in advance) at the beginning of the week.

Nope! Lindy Focus is a social event, and you may ask anyone to dance with you. During classes, partners will rotate so that everyone can practice with a variety of other students.

If you prefer to bring your own partner to classes, for safety or other reasons, you may alert your instructor that you won’t be participating in rotation.

Yes, you need at least a day pass for the dances where you plan to compete, and for the days you plan to take classes and/or participate in community activities.
