2. April Classes & Workshops
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 1: 20's Charleston with Gabe & Andrea W.
8:00 – 9:00pm
This class will start with the basics of leading, following and rhythm. We will then cover the 20's Charleston basic in various positions, with and without partners. Building upon this foundation, we will add many fun and useful moves and combinations. Prepare to learn a lot and have a great time!
Level 2: Balboa with Gabe & Andrea W.
7:00 – 8:00pm
This series will cover all of the foundations of Balboa, including moves, technique and musicality. Balboa is a compact dance which is done in a close, upright embrace with small footwork. Though we will not assume any previous knowledge of Balboa, we recommend this series to intermediate Lindy Hoppers.
April 29th – Special 5th Week Workshops
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level 1: 20's Advanced Connection for Beginners with Gabe & Andrea W.
8:00 – 9:00pm
Have you ever wondered why some moves just don't work? Are you confused by the terms 'lead', 'follow', 'connection', and 'frame'? In this class, we will demystify these terms and teach you the advanced connection needed to execute difficult moves with ease. We will take you behind the smoke and mirrors of advanced Lindy Hop and put you on the fast-track to being a great dancer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level 2: Multiple Choice Swing-outs with Gabe & Andrea W.
7:00 – 8:00pm
In this specialty class, Gabe & Andrea W. will show you that there is more than one way to swing it out! You will learn to fit together the many styles and variations of the venerable swing-out. This class will give you the ability to vary the texture, technique and timing of each swing-out to match your partner, mood and music. We will cover as many variations as time permits.
