"Swing Set" Routine
Thornbury (YDance)
10 Aug 2010
We've just started on a routine for the "Performance Ball" on Saturday Oct 30th. A routine is a great way to practice & everyone improves at such a rapid rate! It can also give you confidence for social dancing.
It's a really fun night for you to enjoy! Not everyone has to perform if that's not your thing but we'd love to still have you in class.
We'd love you to join our Facebook group "Swing Patrol Thornbury". It's a great way to us to stay in personal contact with you and we can up load videos of the routine & photos etc.
Want to learn the Lindy Hop??
This class will be great for people who have never danced & for anyone wanting to move into Level 2.
This 5 week course will get you social dancing by the time the performance ball comes around!
Classes will still run as a regular drop in casual class yet material will progress each week.
Starting August 31st you’ll take your first steps to Swingin’ Out!!
It goes... Step Step Tri-ple...Step Step Step Tri-ple...Step
1 2 3 & 4 5 6 7 & 8
(Leads start on the left, Folloews on the right foot)
We're really excited to be starting Thornbury's first routine! A fun routine that links together all the Rhythms that you learn in Level 1, like 20's, Side by Side, Tandem, Shag and more...
It's a 2.20mins routine to "Swing Set" by Jurassic 5 (bring a CD if you'd like a copy).
