I'll help you achieve at YOUR pace, not mine.
My goal is for you to have FUN while learning.

NOTE: Each class expands on what was covered the previous week(s), with constant reviews to reinforce the base concepts for that month. The class sizes and structure create an atmosphere thats ALWAYS accessible for brand new dancers and drop-ins.

February's classes are a 3-week series, rather than the standard 4-weeks.
We lost a week in January, due to construction, which bleeds over to February.
In March, the 4-week classes resume.

  Private Lessons

  Private lessons are one hour blocks and can include up to four people. The focus is always on the specific goals of the student(s), bringing attention to the points of the dance they seek expansion on and helps set new objectives as they expand their abilities and confidence.

  At each private, the first thing I do is have the student(s) dance. This is to get a better understanding and more familiarity with their Lindy Hop, and 'lock on' to points that will help them achieve their goals more efficiently.
  
  That dance is NOT to critique - it enables me to suggest specific 'things' to help the student(s) move forward at a pace comfortable to them, and grow their skills.

  Beginner Lesson Plans
  
  

  This series focuses on teaching the Basic Lindy Hop movement (a.k.a. the Swingout) and the fundamental, building-block movements used in Lindy Hop. Attention is given to defining your social dancing skills and enhancing your fun when dancing TO the music and dancing WITH your partner.  Each week you refine your Lead or Follow skills through fun, easily executable and improvisational movements.  You'll strengthen, naturally, the tools and framework YOU need to grow your fun of the dance.  With patience and practice, EVERY student will be comfortably dancing the basic Lindy Swingout at the end of the first session.
  
  If you've NEVER taken a dance lesson or if you've had East or West Coast Swing lessons, but not Lindy lessons, I recommend starting here.

  The material in this series is similar to the FREE Friday night lessons,
  Beginning Movements
  Sway
  Swingout
  Basic
  Send Back
  Follow Inside Turn
  Follow Outside Turn
  Follow Free Turn
  Lead Inside Turn
  She goes - He goes Turn
  
  My classes are ALWAYS taught at the pace of the students, so we may not get to all of the movements.

  February Intermediate Series - Interstitals & Connection Movements
  February February 11th, 18th & 25th

  $35.00

  This class focuses on 'working' the connection between partners to do more than from going from movement to movement. The goal is to enable Leads to better lead their partners into a variety of movements and for Follows to have a better understanding of what is being lead and how they can execute their own styling within the 'confines' of lead movements.

  Intermediate Lesson Plans
  
  The concepts covered focus on leveraging your body and weight to expand the movements you're already familiar with to create a stronger level of connectivity with your partner. We'll explore methods of increasing your confidence to use your body to Lead and/or Follow your partner. All in an effort to reduce anticipation on both the Lead and Follow's part -- which should dramatically increase the improvisation opportunities for both partner's during a dance.
  
  The movements we'll start with include:
  
  

  1. Lindy Circle
  2. Inside Turn
  3. Sugar Pushes
