Are you ready to take your Swing Dance skills to the next level? If you’ve mastered the basics of Lindy Hop and are looking to truly connect with your partner and the music, then our Lindy Hop Level 3 class is the perfect fit for you. This isn’t just about learning new steps; it’s about transforming your dancing into a dynamic conversation on the dance floor.
Deepen Your Partner Connection and Musicality in Swing Dance
In Lindy 3, we move beyond simply learning new moves. While we will introduce exciting new vocabulary to expand your dance repertoire, the primary focus shifts to the art of partnering. You’ll learn how to truly lead and follow, creating seamless transitions between steps and combining movements in spontaneous and creative ways. Imagine effortlessly flowing through a swing dance, each step a response to your partner and the rhythm of the music.
Crucially, we’ll delve into musicality. You’ll discover how to interpret different styles of swing music and express those nuances through your dance. Learning to “cook and then chill” means understanding how to vary the intensity of your movements, communicating subtle shifts in energy to your partner and creating a more engaging and dynamic swing dance experience. This is where swing dance truly becomes a captivating dialogue between two dancers.
Just like our Lindy 2 class, Lindy 3 is designed to challenge and inspire you. We pack each session with more material than can be fully absorbed in just one hour a week. Therefore, dedicated practice outside of class is essential to solidify your learning and truly integrate these advanced swing dance concepts.
Join Our Special Swing Dance Recital Session!
This session of Lindy Hop Level 3 culminates in a highlight event: our student recital! Taking place on Wednesday, April 9th, this recital offers a fantastic opportunity to showcase your swing dance journey. Both Lindy 2 and Lindy 3 classes will collaborate to learn choreography, providing a unique team-based learning experience.
While technique and new moves will still be taught, a significant portion of our focus will be on teamwork and refining our performance as a group. The recital is a beloved tradition for both students and instructors. It’s a chance to experience the thrill of performing and share your passion for swing dance with friends and family outside of the dance community. Think of it as a fun, lighthearted showcase where we celebrate learning and the joy of swing dancing together.
