Swing Out Bootcamp – January 12
January 12 @ 3:30 pm - 5:30 pm
$20
The Swing Out is an iconic step and one of, if not the most significant step in Lindy Hop. It is dynamic, stretchy and feels magical when done right. It gets better and better the more you repeat it and can be done with so many rhythmic variations. We will be learning the Savoy style Swing out, aka forward swing out in this workshop and will also learn some basic variations to diversify and keep the drills interesting.
This is NOT a beginner workshop. You need to be comfortable with 6ct triple step moves, have basic knowledge of 8 ct and have been social dancing for 6 months minimum.
Please wear flat well padded shoes (dance shoes or sneakers), comfortable, breathable clothes and bring water.
