Lindy Hop - Gettin’ Comfy in Connection

Partnership is a core value in the way that Hanna and Sean create in Lindy Hop. One way in which we seek to honor partnership with each other and throughout social dancing is by finding comfortable connection. We will discuss ways to create comfort and clarity in connection while seeking to maximize the support for self expression in both roles.

3:00 pm-3:30 pm: Break

3:30 pm-5:30 pm: Session 2

Solo Jazz + Lindy - Say Hi to Solo

Vernacular Jazz and Lindy Hop are two expressions of the same cultural values, music, people, and moment in time. These distinct practices inform each other and while distinct, are beautiful and meaningful when integrated. In this course we will spend 1 hour embodying vernacular jazz as individuals and the next hour we will integrate those steps into partner dancing.
