(ALL LEVELS)
Wherever you're going in lindy hop, you need to take your partner with you. This class is about the physical and musical conversation between partners. Here are tips and tricks that let you change up your partner's footwork, direction, speed, or rotation. Yes, you'll lead and follow your favorite patterns better, but more important, you'll learn to create dances that are more than a sequence of moves.
Note: We encourage you to take this class with either the 7:30 begin™ class or the 9:30 expand™ class.
Prerequisite: a few weeks of the Monday classes or other swing dance experience.
WEDNESDAYS 9:30-10:30
expand™
(Intermediate/Advanced)
Lindy with no limits! Nina, Michael, Dorry, and Sommer will help you take your dance to exotic places: extremes of compression, extension, and lightness; amazingly slow and fast tempos; drastic vertical levels from crouching tiger to airmail special; varying scales of movement; and more.
Note: We encourage you to take this class with connect™ at 8:30.
Prerequisite: Several months of frequent lindy hopping. No partners necessary.
We WILL turn you away if you show up without registering and the class is full.
