Saturday
Registration and Warm Up (9:30 - 10:00am)
1. In the Zone With Lindy Zen (Levels 1-3, 10:00 - 11:15am)
Momentum, lead-follow, stretch, and compression: this introduction to connection will help both Lindy Hop beginners and expert dancers achieve enlightenment.
2. Lindy Hop FUNdamentals (Levels 1-3, 11:25am - 12:40pm)
A crash-course in eight-count Lindy Hop basics. This will be a fun challenge and a useful review for more advanced dancers who might also pick up some new concepts!
Lunch: 12:40 - 2:00pm
Optional: Blues Dancing (all levels) (Everyone, 2:00 - 3:15pm)
Get your groove on as we show you how to dance to slow, bluesy music. Although this class is optional, attendance is highly recommended, especially if you are planning on attending Sunday's classes.
3. Lindy Hop Moves 'n' Musicality (Levels 1-3, 3:25 - 4:40pm)
Lindy Hop is not all eight-count patterns. Mixing six-count and ten-count patterns into your Lindy Hop provides a great opportunity for expressing the music.
Sunday
4. Gimme Some Sugar! (Levels 2-3, 10:00 - 11:15am)
This will be a class on sugar-pushes, open to dancers of level 2 or higher, and who have attended Saturday's classes.We'll teach the sugar-push not as a step or a pattern, but as a springboard to open up exciting possibilities in your dancing!
Optional: Groovy Jazz Movement (Levels 1-3, non-partnered, 11:25am - 12:40pm)
A vernacular jazz routine suitable for and recommended for all levels. Jazz dancing is a good way to learn skills that are crucial for good Lindy Hop, but hard to pick up in Lindy Hop classes.
Lunch: 12:40 - 2:00pm
5. Lindy Hop Charleston (Levels 2-3, 2:00 - 3:15pm)
We're gonna 'kick' it up a notch and show you some crazy fun ideas for faster tempos of music! Open to level 2 and 3 dancers who have attended all the preceding classes.
6. Advanced Lindy Hop Routine (Level 3, 3:25 - 4:40pm)
This class is not aimed at the faint of heart, and is not aimed at anyone below level 3. Come prepared for a challenge and to have some serious fun!
