Despite that last Sunday’s Newton town meeting was postponed to this Sunday, new classes WILL be starting on March 3! The session has been adjusted to 5 weeks and we’re going to stick to that and make it work! Here’s what is on for this session:
- Beginner Swing/Intro to Lindy Hop - This class is for brand new dancers, those with some experience, and continuing students who would like to build a stronger foundation and gain more confidence on the dance floor. Six count basics are covered along with a different selection of fun steps each session. There are 7 different sessions at this level, which can be taken in any order, providing the opportunity to develop a good base for social dancing while continuing to learn new steps. If you have any friends who have been wanting to get started, please send them along! This class meets in both Newton and Boston.
- Lindy Hop Level 2 - This class is aimed at intermediate level Swing dancers who can already comfortably social dance any style of triple-step Swing. It is not necessary to already know Lindy Hop. The class focuses on core moves, including a mix of 8 and 6 count basics, emphasizing technique and lead-follow connection. There are 8 different sessions at this level which continually change over time and can be taken in any order. Each session includes a mix of classic Charleston moves and newer variations. This class meets in Newton and Boston.
- Charleston, Rhythm & Connection - This is a new class aimed at more experienced Lindy Hop dancers and meets in the Newton location only. (Solid Lindy Hop basics are a must!) The focus will be on taking some classic Charleston moves and using rhythm patterns and partnering to spice them up. Adding new rhythms is an excellent way to work on musicality. Partner connection is what makes it happen with momentum and flow. Join us for this fun class!
Monday classes are still open to join this week at Ruggles Baptist Church in Boston near Fenway Park. Classes include Beginner Swing/Intro to Lindy Hop and Lindy Hop Level 2. Class descriptions are the same as for Sunday. Practice time is included after each class!
