Classes:
Part 1 - Becoming Ambidancerous, Switch Dancing 101
11:30am-1:00pm
Who is this for?
A dancer who has been primarily dancing one role in Lindy Hop and wants to learn how to be more comfortable dancing the role they are less confident in.
Part 2 - Embracing Switch Dance
1:00-2:30pm
Who is this for?
A dancer who has a basic understanding of both roles in Lindy Hop or has taken Part 1 of the workshop.
It's often challenging to dance the role you are less confident in when you have spent a long time becoming proficient at the other role. Switch dancing will help with this as both members of the partnership get the opportunity to dance both roles as you only need to dance in your less confident role for half the time!
Part 3 - Shape, Rhythm & Energy
2:30-3:30pm
Who is this for?
Dancers who have been dancing Lindy Hop for at least a year.
The goal of this class is to explore how shape, rhythm and energy can be used to add variety and dynamics to your dancing. After all, it's not what you do, it's the way that you do it that matters most of all in social swing dancing.
