Hello 2011!
*** LEVEL 1 - INTRODUCTION TO LINDY HOP ***
8:15 - 9:15pm
For this 4 week series, Julie & Trevor will be giving you a solid foundation for your Lindy Hop, (Lindy basic, swing-out from closed, and Lindy circle), as well as some fun lead and follow variations to top it all off! And don't forget the jazz! Julie & Trevor will be spicing up the series with jazz stylings that can easily be incorporated into your Lindy Hop basics.
*** LEVEL 2 - DYNAMIC LINDY ***
7:15 - 8:15pm
If you're ready to journey beyond the basics and have fun while you're at it, this is the class for you! After reviewing fundamental 6 and 8-count moves, Brian and Cheryl will help expand your repertoire by exploring variations such as the reverse swing-out and right-side pass. They'll also introduce some exciting moves such as the grapevine, jig-walks, frog-jumps, and Frankie's Checks and explain ways to confidently transition between 6 and 8-count movements on the social dance floor. Through it all, you'll learn how to creatively transform basic moves by varying your energy levels, syncopating the beat, and adding some touches of musicality.
*** LEVEL 3 - LINDY TIME DISTORTION ***
7:15 - 8:15pm
Music bends, stretches, and syncopates. Lindy Hop can do the same! In this 4 week series, Julie & Trevor will be giving you fun moves that can bend, stretch, and syncopate time. They will also cover connection, spinning technique, and musicality, intending to stretch and inspire your Lindy Hop to new frontiers and dimensions!
*** ALL LEVELS BALBOA - PURE BALBOA ***
8:15 - 9:15pm
Come learn what Pure Balboa is all about. This class heavily emphasizes connection with your partner focusing on Pure Balboa closed frame movements the entire 4-weeks. Pinar and Arnold will start you off with the basics but introduce the box-step as well as a deeper understanding of how our body position is linked to leading and following the basic. After the fundamentals of the basic steps and the come-around, they will move on to walks, paddles, scootches and slides. In addition, you will learn ways to get in and out of Pure Balboa into Lindy Hop or Charleston. The class will also include tips for dancing to different types of music and dancing skills in tight spaces.
