3. Workshop Details
Session 1 @ 10 – 11:15am : Cranking Charleston
This class will be great way to start off our day with Evan & Noni’s favorite new moves. Charleston Swing Outs, Side by Side, Traveling, Hand to Hand and more, all with challenging variations! It might have been the first rhythm you learned, but this class won't be a walk in the park.
Session 2 @ 11:30am – 12:45pm : Moves Remix
Often when social dancing you can only remember a few moves or variations. This class will have new takes on a bunch of classic moves. Learn to re-invent them and keep things fresh on the dance floor; creativity for the lazy.
Session 3 @ 1:30– 2:45pm : Tricky Triple-Steps
The syncopation of a triple step is what makes Swing Dancing unique! We’ll explore the intricacies of leading and following the ways those feet can feel the rhythm. We'll be using leadable rhythmic changes to really make your dancing stand out.
Session 4 @ 3 – 4:15pm : Surviving and Thriving at Higher Tempos
A fun filled guide to enjoy dancing a little (or a lot) faster. Dancing up tempo can be a challenge but with our tips, timing, secrets on Swingin’ Out and manageable moves you’ll be all over it.
Session 5 @ 4:30 – 5:45pm : Cuttin’ a Rug with Connection
Lindy Hop embraces improvisation, just like Jazz. Making it all up keeps the dance exciting and connected to the music. Using a variety of tones, rhythms & shapes you’ll find a great way to mix up your dancing. Some tough but achievable stuff is planned, all aimed at increase partner connection for the social floor.
