This year we've decided to use an APPLICATION FORM. This will give us better information about where you are on your Lindy Hop journey – especially for those of you who haven't attended our workshops before. We hope it will allow us to encourage less confident, experienced dancers to apply for the advanced level, as well as to ensure that we offer you the workshop/s from which you will gain the most benefit and enjoyment.
Please see below for our definitions of 'intermediate' and 'advanced', then fill in the application form (follow ticket link) to request your place. Places are limited and will be offered on a 'first come, first served' basis.

INTERMEDIATE DANCERS:
You've been taking regular classes for at least a year and enjoy social dancing with different partners at a range of tempos. You can mix all the basic 6-count, 8-count and Charleston patterns, and are looking to add variation, styling and finesse to your dancing.

ADVANCED DANCERS:
You've been dancing for a number of years and regularly attend higher-level workshops to hone your skills. You have strong fundamentals and are able to pick up complex moves and variations (with a bit of practice!).
For this level of workshop with Ryan Francois, we ask that you already have a good understanding of his methodology when it comes to steps, connection, and lead/follow, so you will need to have learned from him or from other accomplished teachers around the world who espouse his methods.

Classes take place in the main hall at Ashton Park School, a large air-conditioned space. The school has a car park and is served by buses from the city centre.
We look forward to seeing you 🙂
