*Please note: you must know some Lindy to take any workshop!
At a bare minimum you've been dancing Lindy Hop for at least 6 solid months at a variety of tempos. You feel very confident with the basics and have already started to put the moves together and go out social dancing regularly. You look forward to really working on the quality of your basic movement and your musicality, as well as leading and following skills to make your dancing SWING. It's time to start work on connecting to the music, as well as leading and following at a more refined level.
Cost:
$40 for Series (all 3 Saturday Workshops) or $18 drop in per class. No partner needed.
