Class Descriptions
The Essentials:
How to make every dance feel great through working on the essentials and fundamentals of dancing.
Swing Out Intensive:
Mike and Lucy will cover the basic technique, movements and stylings of the lindy hop basic. This class will be perfect for those just starting out and for those who have been dancing for years and want to refine Lindy Hop's most classic step. By the end of the class, you'll feel like you are Stompin' at the Savoy.
Jazz Me Lindy (Dr. Jazz):
The easiest and hippest way to add a little style to your dancing is to throw in some jazz movement. Dr. Falkner and Nurse Faltesek will inject you with boogie, directly into your bones. The doctor is in.
Creativity Through Sillyosity:
To quote a Chinese classic text, "Before the beginning of great brilliance, there must be chaos. Before a brilliant person begins something great, they must look foolish in the crowd." Come look like fools with us and help fuel your creativity.
Instructor's Choice:
Every workshop needs a little mystery and intrigue.
Frankie's Favourites:
Lindy hoppers the world over owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Frankie Manning, an originator and true innovator of the dance. There's no better way to show our appreciation and keep the spirit of Frankie alive than continuing to teach, learn, and dance his classic moves. Don't miss an opportunity to learn steps that every lindy hopper should know!
All Flash, No Trash:
Set your dancing apart with some tricks that can be done on the social dance floor or in performance. *Partner not required, although you should be comfortable with sharing/supporting weight with a partner.
Lucy's Solo Class:
Come out and work on your solo dancing.
