February 2018: Lindy 3: 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 get you up to speed on throwing down. 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, what judges look for, being a badass. 

Lindy 3 classes are intended for students who have completed (and are confident in) all elements of the Lindy 2 curriculum (which includes at least one month of Fundamentals). The topic for these classes changes every month at the discretion of the instructors. This class can count towards completion of the Lindy 3 "Competitions and Jams" requirement.
