2. Nov-Dec Classes: Romain & Audrey! Gilles & Angela!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7:15-8:15pm
*** LEVEL 2: Swing-Out Technique w/ Gilles & Angela ***
The swingout is the bread and butter of lindy hop - the circular movement of the swingout differentiates lindy hop from east coast swing, and makes lindy hop so dynamic to do and watch. You learned the basic elements of the swingout in your Level 1 class; now, it's time to tweak your swingouts so they can be as awesome as you want them to be! In this class, we'll give you tools to improve your swingout technique and will cover some ridiculously fun styling options such as swivels, scissor kicks, swoops, and more. Throughout it all, we will also work on how to maximize your connection to your partner.
*** ALL LEVELS BALBOA: Balboa Is Back! w/ Romain & Audrey ***
Balboa is subtle and intricate dance that can be an exciting and fantastic little intimate secret of connection and unspoken communication between you and your partner! Whether you have some experience already with this dance or you are an absolute beginner, you can gain more facility with the basics and learn some moves to faster and faster music in this series with Romain and Audrey.
This series will start with the balboa basics, and quickly build up your balboa repertoire with paddles, come around, toss out, lollies, cross overs, slides, and show you how to mix them together in fun patterns.
8:15-9:15pm
*** LEVEL 1: Charleston w/ Gilles & Angela ***
The Charleston began as its own dance in the 1920s and took the US by storm. The Lindy Hop evolved from it and even giving it its own flavor. The two are very often mixed together in the same dance. Join Angela and Gilles to learn 1920's and 1930's style Charleston and how to make them fit seamlessly with your Lindy Hop.
*** LEVEL 3: French Menu w/ Romain & Audrey ***
We are delighted to have Romain back teaching with Audrey for this level 3 series. Romain will share some of his favorite Charleston & Texas Tommy variations.
