Exploring the Past: Learning from Lindy Hop's Greats.
Join Sharon and Juan in a six-week journey through the history of Lindy Hop. Learn to breakaway like Shorty George, swivel like Jewel McGowan, layout like Frankie Manning, boogie like Sandra Gibson and swingout like Al Minns. Can you dance like they did at the Savoy Ballroom or at the Palomar, on the set of Hellzapoppin or at the Harvest Moon Ball? If you don't know any of these names - don't worry, you will! See the vintage film clips, explore the styles, learn the signature moves and advanced footwork, and get inspired by Lindy Hop's rich heritage. Whether you strive to dance just like the oldtime dancers, or you love to take your Lindy Hop in new, modern directions, knowing this history is the foundation every great Lindy Hopper needs. In this six-week class series, you will learn those famous moves that are loved by swing dancers the world over, and some important pieces of choreography from the past that every Lindy Hopper should know, plus explore different styles from across the USA and throughout the
swing era!
