Description

PRE-REQUISITES:

This module is targeted towards intermediate dancers looking to level up and is not suitable for beginners. You must already have taken classes and regularly attended social dances for at least one year. You may have already attended dance festivals abroad. You are already experimenting with variations and playing with rhythms. You are not afraid of staying on the dancefloor when the music gets fast. You are now looking to challenge your dancing by focusing on advanced techniques and variations. Contact us if you're unsure if you meet these requirements.

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.
