Skye Humphries & Naomi Uyama

International Workshop Series

Friday, November 29, 2013 - 7:30pm to Sunday, December 1, 2013 - 6:15pm

Skye & Naomi each discovered Lindy Hop at an early age. Both began performing, competing and teaching while still in their teens. Over a decade later they can boast some of the top titles including the International Lindy Hop Championships, US Open and World Lindy Hop Championships. Naomi, originally from Washington DC and Skye, originally from Ithaca, NY, have been lucky enough to travel the globe spreading their love of the dance, from Seoul, South Korea to Seattle, Washington, to the renowned Herrang Dance Camp in Sweden and everywhere in between. Naomi also has a beautiful singing voice and performs with some of the top national Swing bands including the Gordon Webster Band, the Boilermaker Jazz Band and Jonathan Stout and his Campus Five. (She’ll be singing with Gordon at Saturday’s Uptown Swing Dance!) Both Skye and Naomi have been regular instructors at Beantown Camp and it’s exciting to have them back for their 6th weekend workshop. Last year’s was one of the best weekends ever and it must be done again! You won’t want to miss this very talented and innovative duo!

Please bring a change of clean shoes, either sneakers or soft-soled flat dance shoes.

The weekend includes three days of workshops on Friday, November 29 to Sunday, December 1, 2013 at Lower Falls Community Center, Newton, MA, plus a dance with the Gordon Webster Band at Uptown Swing on Saturday night at KI, Brookline, MA. The dance includes a performance with Skye and Naomi. The workshop registration discount deadlines are Wednesday, October 30, 2013 for the Early Bird rate and Wednesday, November 20, 2013 for the Discount rate. Some workshops have closed out in the past.

Registration: Full payment required to hold your spot. Partners not needed except for the Lindy Hop Partner Routine workshop. (If you are looking for a partner, we will help match people at the workshops.) Same price to watch workshops. Please note, there will be no refunds, however, transfers will be accepted. If pre-registered, please arrive at least 10 minutes before your first workshop each day to allow time to check-in and warm-up. If not pre-registered, please arrive 15 minutes early to allow time to register. If you are not able to pre-register, submit an on-line registration form to help speed your registration on the day.

Shoes & Bags: Bring comfortable shoes such as clean dry sneakers or soft-soled flat dance shoes. Smoother soles have less traction and are better for easy turning and movement. (Hard soled shoes will scratch the floor finish.) Please change shoes on the entrance mat to help prevent outside wet, salt and grit from getting on the wood floor. Bags and street shoes should be left outside the gym so as to maximize the dance space.

Snacks & Drinks: You may want to bring snacks for the breaks. Juice and bottled water will be available for purchase, but there are no vending machines in the building. There are nearby places to get food, however, there is nothing close enough to the workshop location if time is short.

Cost per person Discounts are for the same person taking multiple workshops.
