 NEW LINDY HOP PERFORMANCE COURSES!
The Basics of Lindy Lifts and Airsteps (4-week courses)
4-week courses starting 1 Jul and 5 Aug 2010.
Thu, 7 to 8 pm
Ever since Frankie Manning created the first Lindy Airstep by picking up his partner and rolling her over his back to land with perfect timing, Lindy Hop has been synonymous with crazy Airsteps and wild moves. While these steps are typically reserved for performances and jams, learning them can be useful in understanding the value of good timing and how to work with a partner.
The focus of this series is the connection and timing required for even the simplest lift as well as learning how to spot (ie assist) a couple who are learning a new move.
The classes will be taught in 4-week courses, with 2 or 3 moves taught every course. (depending on how fast the class learns them … Safely!) As with most Airsteps and Lifts classes, you will need to sign up with a partner. We will NOT rotate partners. Both the lead and follow must have completed at least Lindy Hop 2A or 2B. Minimum of 4 couples to start.
July: Froggie, Throw Out, Swing Out Throw Out, Russian
August: Back to back, Around the Back/Hip, Over the Arm
Lindy Routines (8-week courses)
8-week courses starting 1 Jul and 26 Aug 2010.
Thu, 8 to 9 pm
Over 8 weeks, we will teach a Lindy Hop routine, with the goal of performing it at Swing Fling! Performance Lindy is complementary to social Lindy and learning a routine is a great way to consolidate your repertoire of moves and also to pick up a Jazz Steps sequence.
You will need to sign up with a partner. We will NOT rotate partners. Both the lead and follow must have completed at least Lindy Hop 2A or B. Minimum of 4 couples to start.
