Beginner Swing/
Intro to Lindy Hop Level 1c The place to start for those brand new to Swing dancing! Also ideal if you have some experience and are working on developing a solid foundation of dance skills while building a repertoire of fun moves. 6 count basics plus an intro to 8 count will be covered along with a different selection of steps each session. The 7 different sessions at this level are designed to provide a good base for social dancing. Okay to start with any session. Students are recommended to stay at this level long enough to feel very comfortable with the material taught before moving to Level 2. Discount after 2 full sessions. No experience or partner required.
6:00–7:20pm
Partner Charleston Variations
Charleston is a very fun component of Lindy Hop with seemingly endless possibilities for playing with variations. We’ll start with classic moves and with partnering and changing up the rhythm patterns, add to the options. A great way to work on musicality, momentum and flow! This class will be for those at Level 2 or above.
7:30–8:50pm
Tranky Doo
The Tranky Doo is a very fun Jazz line dance, originally choreographed by Pepsi Bethel in the 1940s. Although Lindy Hoppers have kept it alive for decades, it has more recently made a resurgence on the social dance floor. If you’ve been wanting to join in the fun, we’ll be teaching a currently popular version.
