Description:
Join our intensive 2-hour "Level-up Your Lindy Hop Dancing" 4-week module, where each week we will focus on a classic Swing move. We'll work on advanced techniques that allow us to seamlessly blend basic steps with different energies, connections, momentum, and stretches, adding a whole new dimension to these classic moves. After that, we'll introduce new variations to further expand your dance vocabulary. Below are the topics we will aim to cover each week:
Week 1 Swing Outs - playing with connection and direction, and adding style with classic and new variations.
Week 2 Sugar Push - smoothing out the sugar push and adding dynamic transitions.
Week 3 Charleston - advanced variations in Tandem, HackSaw, Airplane and Hand-to-Hand.
Week 4 Turns - connection dynamics on Turns; Transitions into Barrel Rolls from various classic Swing moves
We expect you to already be confident in classic lindy hop moves like the Lindy Circle, Swing Out, Texas Tommy, Sugar Push, Tandem Charleston, Hand-to-Hand, and Airplane Charleston. Please note, we will not be teaching these moves from scratch.
