Swing Dancing
Swing dancing is a family of dances danced to “swinging” jazz music, the most famous of which is the Lindy Hop! Lindy Hop is rooted in African American culture and values and was danced first by African American originators in Harlem, New York City. It has since become a global phenomenon with wonderful enthusiastic swing communities all over the world. Lindy hop can be danced to a range of tempos…it can be wild, exuberant, and high energy or slow, chilled, and intimate. It is improvised (or created in the moment) with you, your partner, and the music!
Class Info
6:30 pm - Beginners from scratch: These classes are designed for dancers with no previous experience. They'll introduce the fundamentals of swing dancing, the basic shapes and some accessible moves you can use on the social dance floor. Each class will build up your swing dance vocabulary so you can start creating and improvising with your partner.
7:30 pm - Beginners plus: These classes are designed for students who have completed a number of previous Beginners classes or one of our Beginners workshops and have covered some basic concepts such as basic rhythm, groove and partner connection. A great chance to extend your learning, start playing with variations and build your confidence for the social floor. If you're not sure, please ask your teachers.
8:30 pm - 9 pm - Free social dancing
Expect to have fun and meet loads of new people, while you explore becoming a grounded, versatile and expressive dancer.
We'll also share some of the amazing artists who have created jazz music and hope to inspire you to learn more about this rich, living culture.
