For this workshop there will be a beginner track and an advanced track. We’ll mostly focus on the swing, but have an addendum on mad robin.

For beginners (Led be Sky Leuba and Hannah Garcia):

Learn swinging basics and a little more. The swing is the foundation of every good dance. We’re remiss without a partner swing, let alone a neighbour swing. So how’s it done? How is it not done? How is it done well? How do you swing so smooth you want to swing forever and sing together? What is the buzz step? How do you give weight? How do you do the basic twirl in and out of the swing? Questions asked, questions answered.

For intermediate (led be River Leuba):

Learn some nifty swing flourishes and neat little tricks. Have you been looking at those experienced dancers spinning this way and that? What’s that all about? What are the different ways to spin? Different hand holds? How do you spin fast and safely? How do you flourish in fun and safe ways? We will cover those topics and more in this dance workshop.

Stay after for live music and social dancing from 7:00 – 10:00 pm!
