2. Workshop Content - some additional class explanations at the bottom of this page
1) 11-12 Erin & Joel - The Art of Continuous Motion
Using your partners energy and momentum to create different shapes and giving a more dynamic feel and look to your social dancing. We will give you the tools and some moves that will take your dancing to the next level!
2) 12.15 - 1.15 Evan & Fran - The Boost
If you ever wanted a super fun, safe, and achievable aerial that still manages to pack a punch, then this is it! Follows will spend some time upside down, some time over the lead's head... all in 8 beats! Plenty of flash for comps and jams. Requires a partner as we will no be rotating.
3) 1.30 - 2.30 Cam and Fran - The Lampost
It doesn't get more classic than this. This aerial was the signature of the man himself, Mr Frankie Manning; and for good reason! It's awesome! (Check out Frankie doing it at 4min approx here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0BHxhUnokU Cam and Fran bring you one of the most recognisable flips in Lindy Hop in this 1 hour workshop. You'll learn how to fly and you'll learn good spotting technique for this great aerial.
Bring a partner and comfortable clothing. Must be comfortable with 8 beat lindy hop, 6 beat and charleston.
4) 2.40 - 3.40 Cam and Loz - Variations
You wanted it, so we're bringing it! Variations, variations and variations! Cam and Loz bring you some rockin variations to add to your Lindy Hop bag 'o' tricks! We'll bring you some challenging and fun variations to help you spice up your lines, your levels and your Lindy Hop!
No partner required but knowledge of 8 beat, 6 beat and charleston is.
5) 3.45 - 4.45 Claudia & Dave - Balboa for All
Some say …. It evolved from rhumba, the Charleston, or even the foxtrot
Others say …. It’s a shuffly dance that they’ll only do when they get old
All we know, is that it’s called BALBOA!
Come along and add the basic steps and some great variations to your amoury of swing dances
