Perfect Your Swingout
Nathan and Audrey
Nathan & Audrey will help you experience their take on Lindy Hop's
signature step, with plenty of exercises to help you connect with the
dance floor, your partner and the music. We'll practice manipulating
our momentum as a partnership, creating strong lines, minimizing
extraneous movements, and opening up space for improvisation within
the swingout framework.
Slow Lindy
Patrick and Kelli
Slow it down... Way down. This class is all about not only how to dance slow lindy well, but what to do to fill the time when the music slows down. Learn moves, stylings and patterns as well as technique on how to dance nice and slow.
Follow Styling
Eric and Mary
This class will focus on how leads can gain important connection skills to show off
their follows and give them the ability to add to the dance through
kickass stylings.
Pure-Bal Concepts
Augie and Delphine
Increase your understanding of what makes Bal...Bal. We will emphasize pure bal fundamentals and shuffle through some variations while hitting the mind bending footwork to really fast music. We will emphasize some exercises to help you develop the use of your body in leading/following pure-bal without separating from your partner, thereby increasing your level of comfort.
Partner Connection
Eric and Mary
Everyone has learned Lindy and connection, but you never have had a class that challenges you like
this. We will take a in depth look at how your body moves to connect
to yourself and a partner through the floor.
Fast Lindy
Nathan and Audrey
Bring a towel and get ready to sweat! This class will have you
swinging out out fast, hard and begging for more. We'll tune up our
swingouts for dancing at fast tempos as well as work through some fun
and flashy figures that practice the kind of connection needed to
dance efficiently at high speed.
