Ready to take your Lindy Hop to the next level? If you’ve mastered the basics and are looking to truly connect with your partner and the music, our Lindy 3 class is the perfect Swing Dancing experience for you. Please note that this class is designed for those who have completed our Lindy 2 course at least twice and have received instructor permission to join, ensuring a cohesive and dynamic learning environment.
In Lindy 3, we move beyond simply learning new steps. While we will continue to expand your repertoire of moves and vocabulary in swing dancing, the primary emphasis shifts to the art of partnering and structuring your dances. You’ll learn how to seamlessly transition between different steps and combine familiar moves in creative ways, allowing you to develop your own unique swing dancing style.
Crucially, we’ll delve into the concept of “cooking and chilling” within swing dancing. This means learning to dance dynamically to various styles of music, understanding how to communicate changes in intensity to your partner, and responding to the nuances of the rhythm. This is where swing dancing truly evolves into a captivating conversation between partners, expressed through movement and musicality.
Just like our Lindy 2 classes, Lindy 3 is packed with enriching material. To truly absorb and master the techniques and concepts we cover each week, dedicated practice outside of class is highly recommended. The more you practice, the more fluid and natural your swing dancing will become.
Special Swing Dance Recital Session!
This session of Lindy Hop classes culminates in a special student recital on Wednesday, April 9th. Both our Lindy 2 and Lindy 3 classes will be participating, learning exciting choreography to perform as a group. While technique and new moves will still be taught, a significant portion of our focus will be on teamwork and refining our swing dancing performance skills together.
Our student recital is a highlight for both students and instructors alike. It’s a fantastic opportunity to gain performance experience and share your passion for swing dancing with friends and family who may not have seen you dance before. Think of it as a fun, lighthearted showcase – a recital for adults who love to swing dance! We take the learning process seriously, but the recital itself is all about enjoying the experience and celebrating our shared love of swing dancing.
Recital Date: April 9th (with two show times to ensure everyone gets a chance to perform). There’s also a possibility of adding a performance on Monday, April 7th or Tuesday, April 8th, depending on class sizes.
Class Schedule:
Wednesdays, February 26th – April 2nd, 9-10pm – Lindy 3 Routine with Hannah and Jon
Optional Extra Rehearsal Times: Sunday, April 6th, Monday, April 7th (if no extra recital is scheduled), and periodic Sundays from 3-5pm throughout the session.
Important Note: The recital period and the classes leading up to it are always a bit chaotic, and this year will be no exception! Embrace the fun, encourage your fellow dancers, and remember not to take yourself too seriously. A positive and collaborative attitude will make this swing dancing experience even more rewarding for everyone.
Class Enrollment:
Our swing dancing classes are currently capped at approximately 50 students. If the class is sold out, please email [email protected] to be added to the waitlist. We may be able to open additional classes if there’s enough interest!
