I just started taking lessons this month, I'm two lessons in at this point. I'm part of a very small class of 4 males and 3 females including the instructor. All 6 have prior experience in Lindy, whereas I have never taken any lessons, nor have I ever danced besides the grade school slow dance. I have found it slightly difficult, but after having the girls break it down for me and take it slow, I have progressed fairly well (their words). I do find it fun, but stressful since I'm still fresh at it.
