FAST!
The Fast! workshop comes with all kinds of summer freedom! Take as many or as few classes as you like. They are all on a drop in basis but the more you take, the more fun you’ll have dancing the fast songs. Most classes will be taught at a level 2.0 but if you have any questions about the level, do not hesitate to ask (info@swingdancecalgary.com).
The classes will be begin at 7pm and be between 1h15 to 1h30 minutes with plenty of time to practice afterward. Instructors will be available to answer questions and social dance to help solidify everything you learn. Classes are held at Mount Pleasant Community Hall.
Balboa – Nicole & Matt July 22
This dance form came about on the crowded floors of the California Swing era ballrooms. It’s small, it’s fast, it slides and it’s danced very close. This class will focus on new variations so it is important that you know the balboa basic step, connection and can lead a follow a few moves already (come around, cross overs, lollys and bonus points for the bal swing out).
Lindy Hop – Meghan & Eric July 29
Learn how to handle those faster, high energy songs with killer Swing Outs and great tricks. You’ll learn some Frankie Manning choreography and some more contemporary ideas as well.
You should be confident in your swing out, and transitioning into 6 count and Charleston seamlessly.
