About the class:
If you're taking this class, you have learned a BUNCH of stuff over the last 3+ months at RVA Swing. Level 2C is about putting all of it together and building comfort & confidence with foundational movements before you enter our Level 3 Improver Topics class.
Important Level Stuff:
--Students taking this class must have completed both Lindy 2A and Lindy 2B.
--If you have only learned 6-count swing (what many ballroom studios refer to as "East Coast Swing") you must take our Intro to Swing unit before signing up for any Level 2 class, regardless of your level at your previous studio.
--If you're joining us from dancing/learning elsewhere, please contact us at RVAswing@gmail.com to discuss your prior experience before signing up for classes.
This class is a standard Rotating Partner class, and students will change partners throughout class.
About your instructors:
While Mattie Kelly began dancing Lindy Hop in 2013, they fell in love with swing dancing long before that (specifically, while watching Swing Kids in high school World History class). Since then, it has gloriously taken over their life, and they're pretty happy about that.
An educator by profession, Mattie knows that it takes more than technical skill to be an effective teacher. They are adept at meeting people where they are and encouraging growth from any skill level. As a teacher, Mattie is candid, adaptable, and the right amount of goofy.
Outside of the classroom, you can find Mattie solo dancing in most situations-- whether it's improvising on the social floor, practicing drills in the studio, or choreographing and performing with her teammates. If you really want to get them going, ask Mattie about their favorite version of Splanky.
