Nothing says Lindy Hop like Air Steps! Frankie Manning revolutionized the dance world when, as a young dancer in the 1930s, he decided to send his partner airborne, land on the beat and keep on dancing. With an emphasis on safety, you’ll learn some super-impressive Air Steps with two of the very best, Joe and Tabitha. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes and shoes that stay on your foot securely. PARTNER REQUIRED FOR THIS CLASS; recommended for intermediate-level students.

    Saturday, March 29
    2:15-3:15pm
    $20/person advance registration (advance registration closes Thursday, March 27 at 11:59pm); $30/door

    You know the basics of Collegiate Shag, and now it’s time to expand your skill set. Work on the lead-and-follow mechanism of the unique rhythms of Shag; the momentum of Shag turns; and how momentum is generated so you can incorporate all the moves you know from Lindy Hop and other dances into Shag, and some classic Shag patterns as well.

  • Add Balboa to Your Swing Repertoire

    Taught by Janelle and Dabe Murphy
    Contact [email protected] and [email protected]
    Saturday, March 29
    9:45-10:45am
    $20/person advance registration (advance registration closes Thursday, March 27 at 11:59pm); $30/door

    Just like you mix together Charleston, eight-count Lindy Hop (Whips and Circles), and six-count East Coast Swing, you’ll learn how to transition smoothly into and out of Balboa–regardless of tempo and/or music style–and prepare you for more Lollies, Toss-Outs, Out-And-Ins, and other staples of Bal and Bal Swing.  You’ll fine-tune your footwork, focus on finesse, and create a better connection with your partner, the music, and with the dance floor itself.  No previous Balboa experience necessary; suitable for intermediate-level students (should be familiar with six- and eight-count patterns).

  • Twin Turn Promenades

    $20/person advance registration (advance registration closes Thursday, March 27 at 11:59pm); $30/door

    One of Lindy Hop legend Frankie Manning’s signature moves was the eight-count Promenade with Pecking. You’ll review this classic move, and then give it a brand-new twist and maybe a turn or two! Students should be comfortable with eight-count Lindy patterns; while familiarity with Promenades is helpful for this class as you explore different variations, it is not required. Suitable for intermediate-level students.
