Musicality in Lindy Hop
Instructors: Stefan & Elaine
Mondays from 6-8pm
July 10 - August 24
In this series, we will explore the progression of swing music and dancing through the lens of influential jazz musicians. Expect to learn how to hear the music, put it into context, and use what you know to make your dancing musical no matter the band! We will also be showing vintage dance clips and breaking down historical movements for you to add to your repertoire.
Where: The Lowdown Ballroom in Seattle. This ballroom is in the basement of a dance couples' house (it's beautiful!). Detailed instructions for access and parking will be given to those who register.
Who: This class is for dancers intermediate and beyond. Must be comfortable social dancing Lindy Hop.
Instructors: Elaine and Stefan bring a combined 2 decades of diverse dance experience from Lindy to Tango and Ballet to Blues. Together they have a strong understanding of the history and diverse influences of slow dance as well as an ability to communicate the complex techniques in simple language. Come ready to learn about music, culture, movement, and muscular structures!
Price: $150/student for the whole summer!
Where to apply this new knowledge?: Come to Eastside Stomp every Friday night to dance to live music. It's our personal mission to keep the floor crowded on those slow tunes!
