Advanced Beginner Swing Dance - Rhythm

Dates: Sept 19 - October 31
Time: 7-8 pm
Location: Dalhousie Studley Gym (Gym)
Price: $45
Prerequisite: None!

Swing is the umbrella term for the many social dances created by Black dancers in the US that developed with the swing style of jazz music from the 1920s-1940s. This class will add in a new dance, the Charleston, in addition to more advanced lindy hop moves.

This 6-week progressive series will continue what you learned in the Beginner series, going step by step to get you moving with more confidence on the dance floor. We will spend time working on the most famous lindy hop move, the Swingout, as well as different types of Charleston moves. This class will teach you how to incorporate swing music phrasing into your dancing, which can level up your styling and personal expression on the dance floor. To take this class, you must have completed both Beginner swing classes (formerly Lindy 1A & B), or be able to demonstrate shifting between basic 6-and 8-count moves.

No partner required! This is a 6 week progressive series. No drop-ins. $45 for the series.
