May 2024: Lindy to Charleston: There and Back Again

Are you enjoying Lindy Hopping in the comfort of the Shire, but you have a nagging feeling that you want to go on an adventure? Perhaps you have wandered once or twice into the realm of the Charleston elves but can’t get back to the Shire on your own yet? It can be dangerous business going out your door and trying to figure out how to navigate your path from triple-stepping into kick-stepping. Join our fellowship on this quest through Middle Earth as we show you how to leave the comfort of the Shire by taking your Lindy shapes and patterns into exciting new lands of kicking and ultimately arriving at Mount Charleston Swing Out.

Prerequisites: To prepare for this journey you will need to be at a Lindy 3 level and have taken (or be currently enrolled in) the Partner Charleston series, and know how to prepare po-tay-toes in at least five different ways (the latter is optional). Also this class will entail climbing mountains, running through forests, and potentially being chased by orcs, ie. wear comfortable clothes you can sweat in and sneakers (yes, shoes are required even for Hobbits).

COVID-19 Policy: For this in-person class, we are proof of up-to-date vaccination (including boosters as applicable). Masks are optional. If a COVID spike is observed, the instructors reserve the right to ask folks to dance masked.
