Lindy Hop: Styling Choreography

4-week course with Stina Dallons

Mondays, 7:30-8:30pm

Each week, the class will learn a new piece of short choreography. We will discuss new ways to style the steps, and how to add these techniques to your social dancing. Knowledge of 8 count is needed. We will be focusing on musicality to famous swing songs and seeing how these beats change when you change the song. This class will not be progressive; each week is its own section.
