Description
Join us for a weekend of Lindy Hop, Collegiate Shag and Bal lessons along with social dancing and talks from internationally renowned teachers Peter & Lauren.
They are two dynamic Swing dance instructors with over 40 years of teaching experience between them. Their classes and workshops are noted for their clarity, humour and high spirits!
With Peter and Lauren, we will explore the comforts of good partnering, dance history, and dynamic social dancing!
We will also be playing with rhythms, fancy footwork, and classic moves from the original dancers of the swing era!
Get your feet ready for exciting moves and comfortable connection techniques!
Saturday night - Peter will give a talk on 'The Art of Social Dancing' before everyone gets to invade the dance floor at 8pm!
This workshop won't be suitable for complete novices, so you will need to have some basic knowledge and be looking to improve on the skills and experience you already have.
