2. 5th Week Special Classes w/ Gaby, Gilles, Eliott, and Katrina!

We are excited to announce a special 2-hour musicality workshop with the fabulous Gaby Cook and Gilles. Read on to learn more:

7:15-9:15pm
*** ALL LEVELS: Musicality! The Workshop! (2 hours) w/ Gaby & Gilles ***
This two-part workshop is an all-levels investigation into musicality in lindy hop.

In the first hour we'll dive into MACRO musicality. In this class, we’ll pick apart common jazz song structures and hone in on the best times to shine, improvise or add solo movement. Please bring pen and notebook.

In the second part of class we'll talk about MICRO musicality. Break out the microscope, because we're going to home in on the subtle rhythms, textures and embellishments that make jazz so unique. In this class, we'll integrate personal stylings into partner dancing and play with the balance of partner dance with individual expression.

7:15-8:15pm
*** LEVEL 2: Dips! w/ Eliott & Katrina ***
Dips! Ever wanted to get better at ending a song with a sweet dip? We can show you how! We will be covering basic dips, some not so basic dips, and some flashy dips - something for everyone!

# 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!

8:15-9:15pm
*** LEVEL 1: Spins and Tricks w/ Eliott & Katrina ***
This drop-in class will give you everything you need to have an awesome time at a swing dance, and expand on it with additional spins and tricks! Appropriate for first timers, and people who have only had a few lessons who are looking to expand and improve their basics!

# PRE-REQUISITES: None. No partner required; just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes!

3. August Series Preview: Idalia & Brian! Eliott & Katrina! Lori & Doug!
