Level III Advanced Lindy Hop Workshop
(a.k.a. "Love Me Or Leave Me" Workshop)
Click Here To Register Online
This will be a Level III workshop (a.k.a. fast moving)!
This workshop will be targeted towards intermediate/advanced and advanced dancers. We plan on having a small and intimate setting conducive to lots of questions from our attendees. This will definitely be both intense and a lot of fun!
What is Lindy III?
In our Lessons FAQ we briefly cover our definitions for the various Lindy levels. Generally speaking, we believe dancers at an intermediate/advanced level and higher are able to socially dance Lindy basics at a wide variety of speeds (not necessarily super cleanly but they can get through it in one piece from 130bpm to 200bpm). Advanced dancers also are familiar with doing Lindy basics with non-Lindy basic footwork. They also have some sense of phrasing and musicality.
If you would like to take the workshop but aren't sure of your level, by all means contact us! We'll be happy to talk with you!
Workshop Schedule:
We will be teaching a long routine which covers about thirty two 8-counts (eight sets of four 8-count patterns) choreographed to go to specific music ("Love Me or Leave Me" by Sammy Davis, Jr.). As we go through the routine we'll cover a lot of patterns, pattern variations, and styling variations. As we cover each piece we'll also go over many advanced techniques and concepts for that piece.
By the end of the afternoon we'll have covered a wide range of areas of Lindy at an advanced level. So come prepared!
Our syllabus will be very flexible. We have allowed for enough time to pursue tangents and questions so we can get into some really good detail on advanced dancing techniques. We find the higher the level of class we are teaching, the better it is to keep a flexible and open format. Make sure to come with your questions ready!
12:45 noon - 1:00 pm
Registration, Open Dancing, and Warm-up
Come early, stretch, loosen up, dance a bit, chit-chat, hang-out, etc.
1:00 pm - 1:55pm
Hour 1: Technique Exercises, Start the Routine
We'll start off with a brief technique overview so we are all on the same page. Then we'll dive right into the workshop (routine and questions).
2:00 pm - 2:55pm
Hour 2: The Meat of the Routine
Have a nice break? Hope so .. this is where we will be the most intense as we will see if we can finish the routine here!
3:00pm - 4:00pm
Hour 3: Variations and More Concepts (Time Permitting)
During this hour we should finish the routine if we haven't in Hour 2. The routine repeats itself but to different sounding music so we can now cover some phrasing and styling techniques and other variations and concepts.
