Monday nights beginning November 7th we have beginner and intermediate Lindy classes. One hour each week. 5 consecutive weeks. $60 per person, $100 per couple. Lindy began in the ballrooms of Harlem in the late 1920s/early 1930s. It is a conglomeration of dances that immigrants brought over from their homelands as a response to what was the latest craze in music - Jazz! Lindy is characterized by some of the same things that make Jazz music great; syncopated rhythms, creative improvisation, and call and response. In this workshop you will learn the basic 8 count footwork pattern, the swing out, circle and several other fancy fundamental moves. You can see examples of Lindy in the movies and TV shows like "Swingers", "A League Of Their Own", "Malcolm X”, "Swing Kids”, "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Dancing With The Stars”. Tuesday nights beginning November 8th we have beginner and intermediate Jittebug classes. One hour each week. 5 consecutive weeks. $60 per person, $100 per couple.
