-Schedule-
1:00 pm – Swung vs. Straight Timing
What makes Swing music different from other music? In this hour we are going to figure that out. The Swung triple-steps are everything to Lindy Hop. By learning how to properly triple-step you will be able to dance faster for a lot longer.

2:00 pm – Rhythmic Variations
Let’s break the mold a bit, and look at our options. Learn how to break footwork patters up into their parts, therefor making it a lot easier to learn new moves. This class is essential for being a critically thinking Lindy Hopper.

3:00 pm – Flashy Footwork Variations
Now it’s time to put everything together. Let’s take some of our classic movements and change some of the footwork using what we have discovered in the previous classes. These are the patters that are really going to make your dancing stand out on the floor.
