Lindy Three with Grace Durant and Kevin Nguyen
(the Georgian Room) 

Prerequisite - Completion of Lindy 2.
.
January Topic - Musicality and Expression

Keli and Kevin focus on the heart of adding more style to your Lindy Hop - Musicality. In this month, they focus on helping the students to express their own feelings about the music as they dance.

This is all part of helping the students to find their individual voices in Lindy Hop, as they learn how to tailor patterns to fit the songs they dance to, how to style in response to what they hear in the music. In other words, the students express what they hear in the music.

Collegiate Shag - Level 1, with Tabetha and Joe

 Pre-requisite - Some experience in swing dancing.

Collegiate Shag is a 6-count swing dance characterized by fast feet movement and arms held high in the air. You’ll see it in the Austin nightclubs that play hot jazz and uptempo swing. Unlike Carolina Shag, this dance is happy and energetic. In Shag 1, we cover the basic steps and positions, pulse and some core moves like "Arch Turns", "Breaks" and "Collegiate Kicks". This class has two full series of fresh material, and we recommend taking them both before moving to Shag 2. We love social dancing, and our goal is always to have you social dancing by the end of the first class. Come see why people love it so much!
