Why You Should Learn To Lindy Hop

Beginner Lesson Plans

September's Movement Possibilities, focusing on:

• Charleston
• Charleston Exit
• Charleston Variations
• Knee Bends
• Hip Pushouts

Classes are ALWAYS taught at the pace of the students who attend the first class of the series.

This series focuses on teaching the Charleston and several Charleston variations. As always, attention is given to defining your social dancing skills and enhancing your fun when dancing TO the music and dancing WITH your partner.  You'll discover that the movements taught in this series starts expanding your ideas of what can be "done" with Lindy. You discover that these movements are easily incorporated with other movements, and that you're not "stuck" doing them only when doing the Charleston.

If you're comfortable with the Lindy swingout and you are "aware" of a few other movements, this class is for you! This class is perfect for dancers who have taken several of the FREE Turnverein classes, but still feel somewhat intimidated. This is where you start exploring the fun of the dance!

This month we expand your improvisational dance skills through movements that "work" because the Lead and Follow are "connected".  We concentrate on strengthening your muscle memory through consistent placement of your hands and the positioning of your weight in relation to your partner's weight.
