Open Office Hours for Lindy Hoppers w/Mattie & Dylan
Mondays at 8:15pm on 11/24, 12/1, 12/8 only
Level requirement: Completed at least Lindy 2A.
Do you have a move or concept you’re struggling with in your dancing? Mattie and Dylan will be your TA’s for an hour of guided practice. Bring a topic you’d like help with and they’ll talk and dance you through ways to improve. Examples include:
“My swingouts break down at faster tempos”
“Partners keep trying this move social dancing and I’m lost”
“I feel off balance during turns”
Note: This is not a progressive class, and attendance is not required every week. Pay as you go with Mattie and Dylan directly. No registration needed: just show up!
