BEGINNING LINDY HOP: Prior partner dance exp. preferred
Taught by Meeshi and Missy, this class will introduce you to the basic connection, footwork and musicality essential to social Lindy Hop dancing today. In this 4-week course, you will learn the fundamental patterns of social Lindy Hop including the triple-step swing, 8-count swingout, Lindy Circle, send out, send in, Lindy tuck turns, sugar pushes and much, much more. If you are completely new to swing or partner dancing, we highly suggest you start with the Intro. to Jitterbug class first. Call Meeshi (858-395-6060) with any questions!
Tues. Classes @ Mind, Body & Soul start May 6
Thurs. Classes @ La Jolla Firehouse start May 1
SPEED UP YOUR SWINGOUT: Comfortable with the Swingout
Taught by Meeshi and Moana, this intermediate level Lindy Hop class is geared for those comfortable with their lindy basics at slower tempos but default into Jitterbug or Bal when the tempos get fast. In this 4-week course, you will gradually learn to speed up your Lindy, so that you can dance to faster tempos with ease and fluidity.
INTRO TO SWING DANCING: NO prior dance exp. required
Taught by Tremaine and Andra, this Swing Basics class is geared for those with little to no previous partner dance experience. In this 4-week session, you will learn the fundamental patterns of social swing dancing found on dance floors today. Don't delay, swing dance today.
BALBOA PERFORMANCE ROUTINE: Balboa exp. required
Taught by Nate and Tertia, this performance class will teach you all of Nate & Tertia's favorite Bal-Swing moves choreographed to one of their favorite songs. Their goal is to have dozens of San Diego's Bal dancers performing the routine LIVE with the Jonathan Stout Orchestra. Bringing your own dance partner is highly recommended but not required, come represent San Diego and be a part of the Bal-lerific fun!
