Workshop Descriptions
BEN & SHERI
Lindy Hop Permutations
(Beg/Int – Int)
This is one of Ben and Sheri’s favorite classes to
teach.
Not only will you double and triple the moves you know, you
will learn important concepts you can apply right away to continue to mix and
match what you know to create more and more combinations.
Lindy Hop Patterns
(Beg/Int – Int)
Rock your lindy hop repertoire with cool
sequences that give your dancing lots of great options, plus a strong focus on
lead/follow technique to go along with all the variations you learn in this
class.
20s Solo
Dips & Tricks (Int)
Make
your Lindy more dynamic with dips and tricks!
These dips and tricks and contrast and flash to your
dancing.
Plus they are (mostly) dance floor friendly and (mostly)
socially leadable! There
is a lot of upper arm connection in dips/tricks so consider bringing a long
sleeve t-shirt.
Performance Routine (2-part)
(Int/Adv – Adv, Partner Required)
Group
dynamics on a dance floor allow for many combinations of movement and shape
creation. For
this year’s routine Ben and Sheri plan to take advantage of these possibilities!
Experts in performance and choreography as a couple
and within a group, this routine will include fun moves and choreography (which
we invite you to perform for the dance later that night!)
Competition Concepts
(Int – Adv)
If you’re a competitor, a would-be competitor, a fan
of competitions, curious about how competitions are judged or run, or just
curious why that couple you thought should win first didn’t, then come to this
class.
With years of experience in competing, judging, taking
judging workshops, etc. we will answer your questions through discussion and
also example.
Including Mock Jack And Jill.
Come participate or just spectate!
It’s
Lindy Hop: Milking the Moments
(Int/Adv – Adv)
Learn to add an element of dancing that people don’t
often do: slow
down and milk the moments and the music.
In addition to executing fancy moves and hitting
breaks, this class teaches
extending highs and lows and even how to move
through breaks as a third (and very cool) option.
Musicality 99
(All)
You have just had a weekend full of techniques,
moves, patterns, and combinations.
Let’s circle it back to what is great about swing
dancing: the music!
We’ll teach some elementary musical concepts and
show you how to apply them to your dancing!
A great class for any dancer at any level who wants
to bring it back to the music.
DAVID & CAROL
Lindy Hop:
Technique
(Int/Adv –
Adv)
How many styles of swing-outs have you learned?
How many do you really understand?
This class will clarify concepts such as
Round, Slot, Whips, Circles, etc. and focus on the
technique that makes different variations work well on the social floor.
Musicality
(Int
– Adv)
Well beyond learning moves, musicality
focuses on fitting the movement to the music without losing your great
lead-&-follow partnered dancing.
Learn how
you can effectively intertwine your dancing with the music.
Choreography
(Int
– Adv)
Once you’ve fine-tuned how you listen and respond to the
music, learn how to create choreography that not only “fits” the music but
actually takes it to the next step, heightening the moods, dynamics and emotions
expressed in the music.
Lindy Hop:
Cool Moves
(Int – Adv)
Spice it up with truly amazing figures that will turn your dancing from
common to cool!
Big Apple, Frankie’s Routine (2-part)
(All)
Learn Frankie’s acclaimed Big Apple routine, danced
by Lindy Hoppers everywhere!
Lindy Hop:
Frankie’s Stuff (Int)
Your Lindy Hop repertoire isn’t complete without a
working knowledge of figures that are characteristic of the renowned Frankie
Manning.
Partnered
Cool
Beginning (Beg )
For those very new to a dance style. Teaching will be slow to moderate to allow for good
understanding of concepts.
Intermediate (Int)
For those comfortable with the basics (you don’t count when you dance!) and who learn
simple moves easily, but need time to work on complex figures and concepts.
Moderately-paced.
Intermediate/Advanced (Int/Adv)
For those who’ve been dancing a particular style for several months, who are
comfortable with rhythm and footwork variations, and who learn at a moderate to quick
pace.
Advanced (Adv)
For those who’ve been dancing a particular style at least a year, who enjoy rhythm
and footwork variations, who like a good challenge and who learn fast. Not for the
timid!
No partners are necessary for this weekend and all classes will rotate partners, except where noted [P] for a few “partner-only” sessions. You must find your own partner for these sessions, and partners will not rotate. Register early to secure your spot!
Private lessons with some of the instructors may be available. Contact TC Swing at 651-558-0562 or cindy@tcswing.com.
