AIS November 2011 Details
Alberta Inspiration Saturday
Bringing you inspiration from your beloved local instructors, we are so excited to share this day with you at our old swing stomping grounds.
Date: November 26th, 2011
Location: Sunalta Community Hall – 1627 10th Ave SW
Class Schedule:
11:00 – 12:00 = Get in, Swing Out! with Jonathan and Katie
Learn the basics of Lindy Hop footwork: 8 count step, triple step, connection techniques, etc… to reach the extra-ordinary feeling of a swing out!
12:15 – 1:15 = Swivels and Bits with Curtis and Tara
Intermediate to advanced level. Ability to swing out is a must.
Want awesome swivels? Want to know how Curtis can look that cool by barely doing anything? We will be teaching Follows how to get their “swivel” on, and finish the rest of the class playing with musicality – creating the “he goes-she goes” type dancing. This is a fun, playful style that is easier than it looks, and guaranteed to occasionally have awesome results!Lunch Break! = A short lunch break with dancing videos
A couple classic black and whites to watch while chowing down on your paper bag lunch.
2:15 – 3:15 = Solo Dancing inspired by Josephine Baker with Tim
Are you ready for an hour of making faces, moving your hips in ways you didn’t think possible and making shadowy awesome shapes? This class will help to introduce everyone to some of what made Josephine Baker so amazing and to help everyone realize that you don’t have to be serious to be awesome!
3:30 – 5:00 = Open practice time
Bring things that you’re working on and test it out on the Sunalta floors. Instructors will be around to help answer questions and other people will be around to try things out with.
Cost: $35 for all three classes and the open practice time OR $12 per class as a drop-in rate
Registration: Payment will be collected in cash or cheque in advance or at the door. Please register in advance by emailing info@swingdancecalgary.com with your name, what classes you’ll be taking, and whether you’re a lead or follow.
