What to Expect From the 3 Week Lindy Hop Mini-Course
Lindy Hop is often thought of as the original swing dance. We use some parts of lindy hop for SwingJive, but this mini-course will give you a feel of a more authentic swing dance that originated in the 1920s. Lindy hop footwork is more demanding as it flows between Charleston, 6 beat rhythm and 8 beat rhythm.
This mini-course will show you how to dance a simple lindy hop routine. On the way to building your routine, you will learn:
- how to do a basic lindy Charleston
- how to do triple steps
- how to use triple steps in Charleston to create anĀ 8 beat rhythm
- how to do a swing out, which is the core move in lindy hop
- how to integrate your swing out and Charleston with a 6 beat rhythm move
Who Can Take Part in the 3 Week Lindy Hop Mini-Course
This course is open to everybody who books with a partner and dances with them throughout the mini-course.
Although no previous experience is required, this mini-course would suit people who have some previous dance experience. Anybody who has never danced before should consider our Absolute Beginners SwingJive Course first.
