7:00 - 8:00 Lesson — Lindy Hop Creativity w/ Kellie & Casey
8:00 - 10:00 Practicum & Social Dance

>> Lindy Hop Creativity <<

Join Kellie and Casey to work through short sequences that explore expanding 6 and 8 count moves with alternative steps and momentum. There is a fun joining of simple moves, solo jazz steps, and interesting rhythm. Ideally you're familiar with common Lindy Hop moves like swing outs, sugar pushes, etc., but it's not a hard requirement. Both simple and more complex options will be offered as we learn the sequences.

>> What's a practicum and social dance?
We DJ music just like a regular social dance. You can come out and just dance like normal, or you can come planning to work on something: Ask for feedback, work on a move, play with variations, master a routine.

>> Have a specific question?
Experienced dancers and local teachers are available at practicum to help out with sticky spots.

>> Balboa? Shag? Solo? Learning swingouts?
Let the DJ know what you're working on if you have specific music requests!

This building is physically accessible to enter. If you have accessibility concerns, please contact PLS.
