Saturday 11th May "Connection and Frame for Everyone (not just follows)!" In the first half you'll learn the basics of West Coast Swing (some basic steps, simple turns). West Coast swing is all about having sold frame and a very firm connection with your partner, and the techniques and styling can be very useful in Lindy Hop. In the second half we'll focus on bringing these techniques into Lindy Hop to really help your Lindy Hop be all it can be! Especially as the tempo gets faster, frame and connection become more important. Your teachers will be Jamie and Clare Furler.

Saturday 8th June "Fast Lindy Hop": We'll start out by working on the fundamentals of how to dance fast Lindy Hop, especially the Swing Out (if you've taken the May workshop, you'll have a good head start!). Then, once you've mastered the techniques, we'll teach a routine of groovy moves at a tempo that will really get your heart pumping! Your teachers will be Jamie and Clare Furler.
