Rhythm is a key part of what makes Lindy Hop the dance that it is! Syncing up with your partner to the beat of the music is the first thing you'll do in every dance. In this class you'll learn important 8 count Lindy Hop patterns like the Lindy Circle, all while practicing the skills you need for identifying, matching, syncopating, and playing around with the beat of the music. No partner and no experience necessary.
Beginner Teachers: Sean Krazit & Calvin Lu
Intermediate: Groovin' With A Partner
There's nothing quite like the feeling of grooving with a partner on the dance floor. In this class, you'll learn about what that means, how to achieve it, and some cool patterns that work especially well when you and your partner are sharing the same vibe.
Intermediate Teachers: Justin Lebar & Deniz Akin
Advanced Topics: Fast and Easy
This series is 4 weeks long: October 1st, 8th, 15th, & 22nd.
LBN and Practice Session on October 29th included!
Requires prior approval for advanced topics see here.
Most people feel that as the tempos get faster, they're still ABLE to dance, but everything gets harder to do. Keeping up with the music, leading and following clearly, transitioning from one thing to another, etc. In this class, you'll work on techniques and patterns that will help keep your dancing feeling and looking good even when the music is blazing hot!
Advanced Topics Teachers: Gary Sharpe & Kristin Sorci
Practice sESSION
Intermediate/Advanced Practice Session is held on the last Thursday of each month at 7-8pm, right before the dance.
These practices are meant for dancers who are very comfortable with Intermediate content, have danced and taken classes regularly for at least a year, and are willing to be more collaborative and self-directed than a typical class setting. Ideas will be given for inspiration, but you are encouraged to bring your own ideas to work on. Coming with a dance partner is not required but is allowed and recommended. Expect to workshop moves and ideas with other dancers, give and receive constructive feedback, and build connections in the Lindy Hop community!
