February 2016: Beyond Fundamentals: Competitions and Jams!

Competitions, jams, and performance have been an integral part of Lindy Hop since the era of the Savoy Ballroom. In keeping with that history, this month's class will focus on how to throw down. This class will be perfect for those of you who are thinking about competing at local or regional events in the next couple months (we know there are a couple big ones coming up!). We will address the ever-important question of how to make your dancing look as awesome as it feels, so you can compete, jam, and/or perform (with confidence!) to your heart's content. Things we will probably talk about include but are not limited to: posture, lines, how to not fall on your face, style, energy, being a badass.

Requirements: To take this class you must meet the following criteria - 

• Regularly social dance
• Can lead or follow a swingout and other basic vocab
• Can comfortably mix 6s and 8s
