[NEohioPAL] 5 week swing dance lessons with International dance champions starting now!

[valerie salstrom]

5 week sessions in Jitterbug, Lindy & Balboa at the Brecksville Center for
the Arts begin the week of June 22nd with the dance champions of Get Hep
Swing!

 

Mondays 6/22-7/20  Lindy level 2:  7-8pm

Lindy Hop is the original form of swing dancing and began in the ballrooms
of Harlem, NY in the late 20s.  It is done in 8 counts rather than the
Jitterbug's 6 and there fore allows you to match the music much better.  The
Lindy Hop is a tiny bit difficult to learn but oh so worth it!  When you
begin to master the swing out, circle, inside turn, outside turn,  etc .you
will have a sense of overwhelming euphoria and true connection to the music!
For examples of the Lindy think of the dance scenes in the movies "Swing
Kids" or "Malcolm X" or see the videos on  <http://www.gethepswing.com/>

Mondays 6/22-7/20  Balboa level 2:  8-9pm  

Balboa & Bal-Swing are dances that originated in the crowded ballrooms of
Southern California and were most popular in the 30s.  The Balboa is loved
for its fancy foot work, finesse, subtleties, and ability to be done quite
easily at fast tempos.  The Balboa has a torso to torso connection and is
the perfect dance for working on leading and following.  Bal-Swing; with its
open body connection, developed when the strict Balboa and California style
swing dancing were combined.  To see what the Balboa looks like check the
videos on  www.AllBalboa.com.

Tuesdays 6/23-7/21  Beginning Jitterbug:  7-8pm  

This class will be an introduction to the most well known form of swing
dancing; the Jitterbug.  This dance was originally made famous in the 1940s
and 50s, but is still enjoyed today all across the world.  In class we will
dance to all kinds of music from big band to blues to early rock and roll.
You will learn several basic foot work patterns, how to connect with a
partner and socially lead and follow a variety of moves in open and closed
position.  This dance is very easy and fun to learn!
