Andrew and Karen – Partnering This "Charleston" Thing
Partner Charleston is a versatile and exciting complement to Lindy Hop. We'll be using some basic variations to cover Charleston movement and highlight the differences between Partner Charleston and Lindy Hop.

Dive headfirst into the world of Lindy Hop with this comprehensive introduction to everything you need to know to hit the social dance floor. Class will include footwork, partnering skills, and easy repertoire to get you started. Bring shoes that aren't too sticky, comfortable clothes, and expect a moderate workout!

Evin and Andrew – Moving Beyond 6 counts
Swing?  Lindy Hop?  Jitterbug?  Swingy hop?  Lindy Hop isn't just made up of 6 count moves and 8 count moves, but a whole host of numbers!  Get those integers to work for you!  This class will connect your sixes and eights, give you some quick four-count moves, some two-count embellishments and some super secret Masonic-like power moves to impress your friends and make your enemies green with envy.

Intermediate

Evin and Andrew – Spinergy
Spins.  They're not just for breakfast anymore.  We got the goods here with some sweet turns and spins for leads and follows.  Not just that...we're going to give you the tools to tweak your turns to have flavor like you never tasted before.  Worried about the dizzies?  We can fix that, too. 

Andrew and Karen – Stitching Together That Partner Charleston Quilt
Most partner Charleston variations can be stitched together with a few key things - a needle, thread, and kicking.  This class will outline, for both leads and follows, some simple things to keep in mind in order to make the transition between variations easy and fun!

Michael and Jaya – Leading and Following Rhythms
The trick to clean and satisfying dancing is staying 100% in sync with your partner rhythmically! In this class we will introduce moves and drills designed to get leaders leading rhythms more clearly, and followers following them more reliably in both closed and open position, guaranteed to increase your social dance satisfaction!

Advanced

Michael and Jaya – Speed Turns
There is a sub-set of Lindy Hop repertoire that requires the best technique, that is the most demanding on both partners, and, of course, is the most exciting and fun to execute, when done right. We will work on these super turns in a variety of contexts, giving equal emphasis to both partners and they can work together to make these happen!

Evin and Andrew – Flowmentum
So you can lead or follow, but can you lead and follow?  No, we're not talking about role reversal, we're talking about letting the dance flow out of you.  Make each dance seamless with flowmentum.  Feel where the movement is taking you as a lead, and follows, learn how to harness the energy on your side of the connection.  This is the sweet stuff, yo.

Andrew and Karen – Speedy Feet Productions
You need to up your game when you up the tempo.  This class is all about what you can do to make uptempo Lindy Hop a bit less awkward, and a whole lot more awesome.
