Workshops

We are excited to be offering two levels of classes for the weekend  workshops.   The Intermediate/Advanced level will be suitable for most dancers with a smaller proportion of dancers in the Advanced Plus level.  Your level preference is selected at registration, please note that auditions/level check may be required for the Advanced Plus class and your entry for this level will be at the discretion on the teachers.

 INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED

 You have probably been dancing Lindy Hop for a decent amount of time,  taking lots of classes (or travelling to workshops) and social dance regularly, your Lindy Hop addiction is real!

You are able to comfortably lead/follow swing-outs, you are familiar with both rhythms and the general mixing of patterns (six counts, eight counts, charlestons…). You are into learning not only new vocabulary and the technique that comes with it but also refining your basics. You are excited about getting more musical , adding styling and improving your lead and follow connection. You want things to not only look good but feel good too.  

These classes will be the boost you need and unlock the secrets to take your dancing to the next level. This is a multi level class and will be perfectly suited to most. This is the level that will give you the most improvement and growth in your Lindy Hop!

ADVANCED PLUS

This track will be a smaller group of dancers who are ready for a big challenge. You have probably been dancing Lindy Hop for a long time now, and likely travel, teach, compete and or perform in troupes. 

You are able to quickly master new steps and variations, because you already draw on a big repertoire of figures and variations. You are able to lead or follow without effort and are able to change patterns at any time making transitions natural and comfortable. You understand that dancing is a communication between yourself and your partner and are able to give your partner enough freedom and space to express themselves and play off of each other. You can dance fluently, and dynamically from slow to very fast music, you maintain your balance and your timing even in complex movements. You’d like to play with the quality of your movements, improve your improvisational skills, use different levels of musicality, and bring an extra level of finesse to your leading or following.

 At this level self-criticism is probably your greatest asset. The Advanced Plus  class will be a working environment of a very high standard. Please express your interest for this level at registration, auditions/level checks may be required and space is limited.
