Beginner Swing Weekend
Intro to Swing
Get started in the wonderful world of swing dancing! If you’ve always wanted to try but were afraid you’d have two left feet, this is the class for you. Learn to dance in a friendly, supportive environment. Meet new people, get moving, improve your co-ordination, and have a lot of fun!
Thursdays 8-9pm for Swing 1; 6:45-7:45pm for Swing 2
Lindy Hop Essentials
Once you’ve completed the material from Intro to Swing to your satisfaction, you’re ready to get a whole lot more dancing in your Swing! At this point, you’ve learned most of the most commonly known basic Lindy hop steps and patterns, and it’s time to get them feeling more awesome (for you and your partner) at a wider range of tempos and with more variations.
Lindy Hop Essentials (Swing 3) is where we mix and match all the prior Swing series material, add a few more, and increase your comfort with a wider range of tempos. We also add some variations on moves you already know and love, to further enrich your social dancing vocabulary and your understanding of connecting with the music and a partner.
Mondays 7:45-8:45pm
