What
Lindy hop! Born in the ballrooms of pre-WWII Harlem after the explosion of jazz from the 1920s into the 1930s, this living, breathing worldwide art form is highly improvisational, and grounded in a common dance language that we would aim to teach you.
We'll start with the basics, and work at a comfortable pace. In February, we are offering two levels:
Lindy 1a: Start here if you are new to lindy hop!
Lindy 1+: Continue here if you've taken some lessons and you are looking to get your lindy hop to the next level!
Who
Us: Geoff and Liz will be the teachers for the February classes.
You: Come with or without a partner (we will rotate partners frequently during the class), and come open to either leading or following (choice of role entirely up to you; we just ask that you stick to one role within a class once it begins).
What days:
Wednesdays in February -- 2/4, 2/11, 2/18, and 2/25. The latter classes will build on the former ones, but we can work with drop-ins.
What time:
7-8pm: Lindy 1a
8:15-9:15pm: Lindy 1+
Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to get checked in before class starts!
Where: Spontaneous Celebrations (45 Danforth Street, Jamaica Plain MA 02130)
Prices:
drop-in: $10 per class
full month (4 classes): $35
Free drink for students who come to all four classes!
