About the class:
Are you finishing up one of our 6-week Intro units and are eager to learn even more Lindy Hop goodness?
Perhaps you've taken a bunch of classes but are still struggling with swingouts?
Or maybe you've done some Lindy Hop in the past and just want to brush-up on your technique?
Join Kira & Jess for 4 weeks of swingouts & turns! They'll share some tips & tricks to improve your dancing, and of course, teach you some sweet new moves. In this level, we will start to really focus on how moves & partnerships work on a deeper level.
This unit will focus on improving novice students' ability to execute swing-outs, and the partnership dynamics that make swingouts work, as well as more complex turns like tuck turns.
Students taking this class must have completed an RVA Swing Intro to Swing class series OR, at minimum, be able demonstrate 6 and 8 count Lindy rhythms with triple steps, basic inside/outside turns, and swing outs.
Important Level Stuff:
--If you only took the first few weeks of your Intro series, you are not prepared to take this class unless you make special arrangements to make up the material.
--If you have only learned 6-count swing (what most ballroom studios call "East Coast Swing") you will need to complete our 6 week Intro series before taking any Lindy 2 class at RVA Swing.
This class is a standard Rotating Partner class, and students will change partners throughout class.
About your instructors:
Kira Lambert (she/her) quickly became obsessed with lindy hop and the greater jazz world after discovering the social magic of her local scene. As an instructor, she strives to focus her teaching on approachable, joyful movement, musical connection, and a healthy dose of jazz history nerdery. She firmly believes that you can never play too much music in class.
Off the dance floor, Kira is passionate about couch surfing, people watching, and dreaming up wildly impractical travel plans. Catch her for a dance sometime, or a chat about your favorite hole-in-the-wall spots in RVA.
