4. February Classes: Dexter Santos & Katrina! Lori & Paul!
7:15-8:15pm
*** LEVEL 2: Tandem Charleston w/ Lori & Paul ***
Spice up your Lindy language with some hot, fast-paced Tandem Charleston. Your trusty guides will navigate you through the in's and out's and all of the awesome variations in between. We'll focus on footwork, connection, and creative ways these fun steps can be added seamlessly into your Charleston repertoire.
# PRE-REQUISITES: Execute a swingout, lindy circle, charleston and 6-count moves and transition between them in open and closed positions. No partner required; just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes!
*** LEVEL 3: Flow & Momentum w/ Dexter Santos & Katrina ***
When everything feels right, when a dance really becomes A Dance, when leaders and followers feel comfortable playing off of each other by directing and redirecting energy and momentum, a beautiful chord is struck. As a world famous Blues dancer with a background in Lindy Hop, Dexter Santos will help you explore flow and momentum and share a few ways to incorporate it into your dancing in fun and exciting ways.
# PRE-REQUISITES: At least nine consecutive months of Level 1 and Level 2 including one full year of social dance, or discuss your eligibility with instructors. Under-qualified students will be asked to transfer to Level 2 in order to strengthen their fundamentals. No partner required.
8:15-9:15pm
*** LEVEL 1: 8-Count Basic Lindy Hop w/ Lori & Paul ***
When you really want to dig that swing beat, there's nothing like 8-count lindy hop! We will start with the basics, from zero dance experience on up, and get you swinging around the dance floor in no time! This is a progressive 4-week class; show up on the first week to get maximum benefit.
# PRE-REQUISITES: None. No partner required; just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes!
*** BLUES Fundamentals w/ Dexter Santos & Katrina ***
Imagine: The dance - floor full and hopping. The band - live and killing it. You - just took a break and ready to start dancing up a storm. You ask someone to dance and the band cues up a song... a blues song. Wait! Don't panic! You got this. You got this because you were wise and signed up to learn how to deal with situations just like this, in style. Dexter Santos discovered Blues dancing in 2005, and found himself immediately drawn to the rhythms and sounds of the Blues. Something about the music - its emotional depth and range, the varied subjects and stories, the hip-shaking, the gritty, the smooth - gave Dexter's dancing new inspiration and direction. With a background in Ballroom dancing and Lindy Hop, Dexter has studied and collaborated with the best Blues dance teachers and dancers around the world making him one of the most sought-after and admired teachers and dancers in the national and international blues scene.
Brenda Russell will teach the fourth week of this class!
