About the class:
Did you just finish Lindy 2A: Swingouts & Turns?
Or maybe you've done some Lindy Hop in the past and want to dust off your Charleston?
Join Sydney & Jordon for 4 weeks of basic Charleston! 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 work & how to refine our partnership skills.
This unit will focus on teaching novice students how to do side-by-side Lindy Charleston, as well as some common Charleston moves. We'll also spend a little time in each class on practicing our swingouts!
Please note that Charleston involves a lot of hopping & kicking and so it is cardio-intensive. We recommend that students taking this class be able to perform activities like a brisk jog for 1 to 3 minutes at a time, as well be able to hold their balance while standing on one leg.
Students taking this class should have completed a 6-week RVA Swing Intro to Swing class OR, at minimum, be able demonstrate 6 and 8 count Lindy rhythms with triple steps, basic inside/outside turns, and swing outs. It is recommended to take Lindy 2A prior to this class, but motivated students who just finished their 6-week Intro series can also join this class.
Important Level Stuff:
--If you missed weeks 5 and/or 6 of your Intro class, 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.
--Never done any Charleston before? You MUST come to the first class to take this series.
This class is a standard Rotating Partner class, and students will change partners throughout class.
