This weekend course is for everyone who has never danced Lindy Hop before or is not yet comfortable with the basics.
No previous experience required.
No partner needed.
We change partners and switch roles constantly during the class.
During the total of 4h of lessons we'll dive deep into the world of swing dancing.
It's all about swinging to the great, popular party music of 1920s to 1960s called jazz. Letting ourselves enjoy the music and the rhythm, dancing and jamming together with these tunes.
We will explore basic rhythms, patterns and fundamental ideas of partner connection and improvisation, both* leading and following. And also learn some of those cool moves lindy hoppers have been rocking since the 1920’s.
