We are excited to be offering two tracks of classes this year! Please read below for level placement descriptions. Specific workshop topics will be posted closer to the event.
Beginner-Intermediate Level Workshops
with Carla and Damian
Workshop 1: Going beyond the recipe book – mixing up your steps and triple steps and simmering on low to make the dance tasty!
Workshop 2: Putting the social in social dancing – movement conversations for seeing and being seen. Can we really have the freedom of solo jazz in our partner dancing? Yes we can.
Saturday Taster Class: A throwback Charleston combo to blow your hair back!
These workshops are for dancers looking to strengthen their rhythmic foundations, build Lindy Hop vocabulary, and begin exploring creativity in partnership.
If you find smoothly switching between 8-count, 6-count and Charleston footwork to be a little tricky, or are not familiar with some of those footwork rhythms and the foundational shapes that go with them, this track is for you! If you find maintaining consistent triple steps to be tricky, this track is for you!
How long you have been dancing is not a true indicator, but dancers who are 1-6 months into their Lindy Hop and swing dancing journey may find the pacing of these workshops appropriate. If you are someone ready to enthusiastically take on a challenge, you may join this workshop level with no prior Lindy Hop experience.
Intermediate-Advanced Level Workshops
with LaTasha and AJ
These workshops are for dancers who are comfortable with foundational Lindy Hop movement including
-swing outs
-lindy circles
-promenades
-tuck turns
-passes
and can comfortably switch between 8-count, 6-count, and charleston footwork rhythms.
Some solo jazz vocabulary is beneficial but not required.
Int-Adv Workshops are included in the Full Weekend Pass. If Full Weekend Passes are sold out, that means Int-Adv workshops are at full capacity.
