Get excited for T-Town Swing's first intermediate Lindy hop workshop held in conjunction with Down Beat Dance! We are ecstatic that we will have Ariel Goh (from Eastside Stomp) teaching the workshop, along with our own Jonathon Pope. 

​

     Recommend having taken Lindy 1, or equivalent, twice or be comfortable with swing outs, Lindy circles, and tuck turns. If you have any questions about your skill level, talk to Jonathon, Laura, Savannah, or Nick for advice. 

 

Topics include:

• Connection, connection, connection! It’s all about fine-tuning that two-way (yes, two-way) communication between leaders and followers for the ability to get those “mind-reader” moments.

• Swingouts, swivels, and switches, oh my! Followers, this is your time to shine! We’ll build these follower power moves, swivels and switches, starting from scratch and building to individual polish. Leaders, you won’t want to miss this part—we’ll take a look at how different swingouts build different conversations and openings for both partners!

• Musicality! Out of ideas? Try a great resource right in front of you: your partner. We’ll explore how to give and ask for room to express yourself to different types of music!

 

      Workshop is 12:00-3:00 and is $30 ahead of time, $40 at the door. $10 off for UPS students. Workshop is held in the dance studio of the University of Puget Sound's Field house. Get directions here.
