No emphasis is made on the style. After taking the beginner and intermediate levels you can emphasis on styling by taking the Boogie-Woogie, Lindy Hop or Rock'n Roll classes. Lindy Hop is the original 40's style. It is based on 8 count basic steps and adds a lot of footwork and syncopations to the dance. Its circular motion often requires more room on the floor.
Emphasis is made on style.
Here you will learn the basic 8 count step and variations on the basic. Footwork particular to Lindy Hop will be taught such as Charlestons, Suzy Q, Shorty George, etc. Find the breaks without even knowing the song. In this class you will gain a better understanding of musical structure and punctuation. Though new figures are always taught in class, the main focus is on Lindy Hopin in a social context.
