Directions:

THE BEGINNER I CLASS will include the following:

1. Basic Jitterbug six-count

  • basic
  • turns
  • OF COURSE: the infamous PECKING STEP
  • Shake time and all the rest of the goodness!
2. Basic Lindy
  • Jockeys, Swing-outs, Whips, and Lindy Circles
3. Charleston Stuff (a little, but most Charleston is covered in the Beginner II class)

4. We will of course teach how to enjoy Lindy and how to dance socially in the DC scene.

Usually we teach more than this, but this should give you a rough idea of what craziness is going to be taking place on a weekly basis.

THE BEGINNER II CLASS will include the following:

1. Charleston Stuff

  • Basic side-by-side and Kick throughs
  • Front-to-Back Charleston, turns, and side-kicks and how to dance socially in the DC scene.
2. Continuation of Lindy dance steps
  • Usually doing it in class is a lot different than doing it on the dance floor, so we focus on how to do Whips and Lindy Circles better and how to start to piece you moves together more effectively.
3. How to have fun with the steps
  • This class is designed to make the students more comfortable dancing the lindy that they already know. We also teach some new moves to get students ready for the intermediate class. Above all, we want everyone to really enjoy what they are doing.
THE INTERMEDIATE CLASS will include the following:

1. Cool... no wait... VERY cool Savoy styling and moves

  • many breaks, foot work patterns to really open up you lindy potential
2. HOLLYWOOD... that's right, HOLLYWOOD style Lindy.
  • we will be showing Hollywood Lindy with many common moves and neat things that you can do with the style of Lindy.
3. Collegiate Shag (because it is a five week session, we will only do a class in Shag or Balboa every session)
  • for all of you crazy kids that love the BIG BAD VOODOO CHERRY ZOOT SUIT ZIPPER SMELLIN' SQUIRREL DADDIES (as the (in)famous Bernstein would say). This neat little variation on six count lets mere mortals dance at lightning speed.
  • It is a dance consisting of fast foot work excellent for the crowded nightclubs of DC.
4. Balboa... yes you heard right... BALBOA
  • We are going to teach the basic and some cool moves. Similar to shag, it is a great variation that will let you bust loose in the smallest space.
5. How to relax and break all of the rules
  • We teach you how to play around and improvise on the dance floor.
  • Our class focuses on LEAD AND FOLLOW. We want you to be able to lead most of our moves to anyone that you meet.
