Swing Spins - Sarah F & Scott
Spinning is part of the fun in Lindy Hop. Generally we stick to a single spin here, and underarm turn there.... BUT - there is so much more that you can do if you have the right technique, the know how and the guts! Scott and Sarah will take you through some core spinning technique and then challenge you with some lead focused spins and follow focused spins. It's amazing what you can do, all on one foot, when you know how. Get....Set....SPIN!!
Advanced Lindy Hop Swingout Technique - Sarah F & Anthony
(must be comfortable with 8 beat)
Are you feeling stuck and don't know how to get your swingouts looking andfeeling how you want them? Do you have an inkling of what it's like over in Happy Swingout Land, but don't know how to get there? Anthony and Sarah want to spend an hour with you to show you what they do with their swingout - the best part is that you can use the very same principles for super slow or super fast dancing. It'll be technical, will challenge your thinking and body movement. Jump on the boat to Happy Swingout Land!
Challenging Partner Charleston - Sarah F & Anthony
(must be comfortable with Charleston)
If you're competent with side-by-side, tandem and solo charleston - you're probably ready to cut your teeth on something that's more challenging. We're going to throw down some energetic and crazy combos to satisfy your
chops.
Blues - Emily G & Andy
