    October Series

    Beginners:
    8-count Lindy Hop

    Come learn Lindy Hop! You'll build the dance from the basics while learning some of the history of this Black American art form. 

     

    Swingout Partnered Variations

    Swingouts- the defining move of Lindy Hop. In this class, we'll work on improving how your swingouts feel and give you a whole bunch of partnered variations such as the Texas Tommy and forward swingouts.

     

    Intermediate: Exploring the World of Charleston

    We LOVE Charleston! This month we’ll cover: smooth transitions between Lindy & Charleston, playful variations, and how to bring flow into your dancing. Charleston is full of energy and joyeven when the music gets fast.

     

    Adventure: Blues-From Harlem Ballrooms to West Coast Blues Bars

    We’ll explore how Blues and Swing shaped each other and learn Savoy Walk, Boogie, and Texas Shuffle. Each rooted in Blues values with its own style and . You’ll soon be ready to dance to a wide range of blues music.

     

    Audition: Slides and Smooth Stylings

    Get ready to glide! This month’s Audition class is all about smooth, fancy footwork and slides that add extra flair. Pro tip: wear slick shoes so you can slip, slide, and shine!
