*** LEVEL 2: Charleston w/ Lori & Paul ***Add some pizzaz to your Charleston by kicking and double-kicking our way through "airplane" charleston, Hand-to-Hand moves, Hack-saws and Kick-Throughs. We'll even make the magical mix of Charleston Swing-Outs to really get you flying through those swingin' beats! This is a progressive 4-week class; show up on the first week to get maximum benefit.
# 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: Stylish Lindy w/ Jean & Bromley ****While the song goes, "It taint what you do but how you do it," we believe it's actually a little of both. In this class we will be working on some fun moves and rhythms that will add contrast and musicality to your dancing (what you do) while also working on lines and dancing with your whole body (how you do it).
# 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.
8:15-9:15pm
*** LEVEL 1: 8-Count Lindy Hop w/ Lori & Gilles ***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!
*** ELECTIVE: Basic Aerials w/ Jean & Bromley -- PARTNER REQUIRED ***Come learn the foundational elements that will take you or your partner up, up and away. Besides a fun aerial for jam circles or competitions expect to learn the tricks of the trade for approaching aerials down the road. In this series we will be working on aerials from Tandem Charleston.
# PRE-REQUISITES: Bring a partner. We will not do rotations in this series. Knowledge of Tandem Charleston -- entering into it, staying in it, and exiting -- is highly recommended.
