Schedule
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
Essential Movement Principles for Followers
To achieve expert-level following, we first need to address the key skills in lindy hop movement. Topics include turning, swing rhythm, balance, weight changes, and posture.
1:00 PM – 2:30 PM
Technical Following: Frame, Movement and Shared Balance
Once we’ve explored individual movement, the next question arises — how can we best connect movement from the individual to the partnership. In this class, we’ll explore frame and the ways movement ideas are communicated through the partnership and how those movement ideas are acted out on the followers end.
2:30 PM – 4:00 PM
Creative Following: Every Follower Variation You’ve Ever Wanted or Needed to Know
Bring creativity and playfulness to your lindy hop vocabulary through variations! We’ll learn rhythm based variations to bring color and variety into your dancing!
