Autumn 2024 CLASSES – part 2

Lindy Hop beginners

An intro to swing dancing in 8 weeks. 
Lindy Hop is a partnered dance that originated from the African-American community in Harlem, New York in the 1920’s/30s. It is a lively energetic dance that is closely connected to jazz music popular at this time. 
This course is designed for total beginners, although repeat students who want to polish their basics or learn the opposite role are more than welcome! We will start with the basic steps and teach you everything you need to know. We will make sure that dancers that have done the previous beginners’ course will get new material as well!
We rotate partners in class – this means you also can join the class if you don’t have a dance partner. To increase your chance of getting a spot in class you can register as ambi (either lead or follow). 

Start Date: 30.10.2024
Duration: 8 weeks
Time: Wednesdays, 19.30 – 20.30
Location: Fanfare Sint Servatius

Lindy Hop 2.5

Follow up to the previous Lindy Hop 2 course. Advance your swing dancing in 8 weeks! 
This course is designed for people who already know the basics of swing dancing, including 6- & 8-count, Lindy circle, and basics of the Swing-out, maybe some Charleston. If you have taken the Lindy Hop 2 course before and you have been social dancing, this course is for you! It will be a continuation of the previous Lindy Hop 2 course.
We rotate partners in class – this means you also can join the class if you don’t have a dance partner.      

We will have a moment to have a social dance and practice the moves you learned after class. This will be from 20.15 till 20.45 before the next class starts. Participants of the next class are also encouraged to join. Besides classes on Tuesdays, we have our regular social dance on Wednesdays from 20.30-22.30.

Duration: 8 weeks
Time: Tuesdays, 19.15 – 20.15

Switch dancing – Switching roles

In Lindy Hop, there is no need to stick to one role. Switch dancing encourages creativity and collaboration on the dance floor. It is not only about learning the other role, it can also create a different dynamic with new movements. It will enhance your general dancing skills and appreciation for your dance partner. In this four-week course, we will touch upon some basic concepts of switch dancing, and we will teach some fun switch moves.

This course is not suited for absolute beginners. Some experience in the other role will be helpful but is not required.

We will have a moment to have a social dance and practice the moves you learned before class. This will be from 20.15 till 20.45. Participants of the previous class are also encouraged to join. Besides classes on Tuesdays, we have our regular social dance on Wednesdays from 20.30-22.30.

Start Date: 29.10.2024 
Duration: 4 weeks
Time: Tuesdays, 20.45 – 21.45
Location: Fanfare Sint Servatius
Registration: Here

This course will be followed up by a new 4 week course, the content will be determined soon!

Social Dance

Every Wednesday after the beginners class there will be a social dance. No pre-registration is needed, it’s free, we’ll keep the music spinning & the beers cold! Come and join us 🙂
