About the class
Learn to dance both roles and never sit on the sidelines again! In this workshop we will cover all the basics of Lindy Hop, and you'll get to dance both roles in the same class (trust me, we have a system!) 😆
If time permits, we'll also share some of our favorite fun ways to switch seamlessly mid-dance!
Even if you don't aspire to be a true ambi-dancer, exploring the other role makes it easier to understand your partner and helps you be a better dancer in your primary role.
NOTE: We will be focusing on fundamental movements, but this is NOT a beginner class. All students must have previous Lindy Hop experience and must already know how to do yoyos, circles, turns and swingouts in one role. (You don't already need to know both roles!)
