Classes
Intermediate+ Lindy TLC
7 pm
This class is geared toward dancers that are looking to make big improvements. In its simplest conceptual form, it’s essentially a group private lesson. Students should come to class prepared with ideas or topics that they’d like to work on, specific or general. These presented ideas will serve as the basis of learning for that week’s session. Should students not arrive with topics to help drive the class, the instructor will pick one based on an evaluation of the students during the class warm up.
This class is also an opportunity for students that might not typically be able to take many private lessons to get a little bit of one on one help, but in a group context. Sometimes working on an issue might have can be of benefit to the entire group! It is absolutely ok to bring a specific topic to the session.
Lindy TLC pre-requisites (you should be very comfortable with these basics):
- 6 count Lindy Hop basic, send-out, tuck turn, trade places, circle
- 8 count Lindy Hop circle and swing-out
- Charleston basic
All Levels Lindy Hop
7:45 pm
This beginner friendly class is also intended to keep things fun for more experienced dancers looking to brush up on fundamentals. The goal for the all levels class is to help newer dancers accelerate their progression, as they get in-class exposure to dancing with more experienced dancers.
No dance experience or partner required to participate in this class. We rotate partners frequently to speed up your dance development and to help you meet new people!
Before you head over:
- Old Towne Swing is settling back into being a permanent fixture at the Woman’s Club of Orange. This does depend on your attendance. Thank you in advance for your support.
- If you are sick, we wish you a speedy recovery-at home, not at our dance. Get well soon!
- Dress comfortably for dancing.
