Just Keep Spinning

Picture
Turns and spins appear in many of our Lindy Hop patterns and styling. Free spins, outside turns, pop turns, lock turns - you name it! While many dancers get through them, turns can feel even better (and be more fun!) when executed with good rhythm, control, and musicality. This workshop we will help you feel more comfortable turning and spinning in your solo jazz and partnered Lindy Hop. We will go over the elements of good spinning technique as well as the lead/follow for turning moves. 

What: Just Keep Spinning
When: Saturday, December 13th from 6pm-8pm
Where: West Cambridge Youth Center, 680 Huron Ave, Cambridge, MA
Price: $20 per person at the door

Note: Dancers who participate in the workshop get a discount to the Swing City dance! Hope to see you there after the lesson for social dancing.

THE CIRCLE GAME

Picture
It's the Circle Game! (Yes, like the Joni Mitchell song.) Some of the most fun moments in swing involve taking the momentum you have with your partner and turning it into a circle!  From turning basics to lindy circles to come-arounds, this way of moving comes up again and again.  In this workshop, Katie and Paolo teach how to create and respond to that circular feeling, as well as how to feel (and enjoy!) the difference between the circles and the lines.
