Aerials
Max and Richa will teach the Cradle Flip, which is a two stage aerial.  The first stage stays connected the whole way and involves the lead lifting the follow into a "cradle".  The second stage involves the lead launching the follow into a backflip!  This aerial has not been taught in Sydney since Andy Fodor and Noni Clarke visited in 2007 and our teachers have got their own unique style/twist to show you.
All levels welcome from complete beginners up, just bring your own partner.
Max and Richa have been teaching aerials together for more than a year and are very safety conscious.  They'll have you up in the air with style and confidence in no time at all.

Rhythms & Connections - Assumed 8-beat knowledge (Level 2/3 class)

Balboa to Lindy Transitions - Assumed Balboa and 8-beat knowledge (Level 2/3 class)

Solo Charleston Chicks
Partners....pffftttt, who needs 'em?  Um, well actually we do (honestly we do!!!) but not for solo charleston!  Alice & Justine will teach the basics from scratch and then rev straight into some nice breaks and styling variations on old favourites.  ...and guys you are most welcome to do the class too 'cause we'll 'man up' the girly moves so you can still look hawt on the dance floor!


4.  Costs & Format
