Lindy Hop Level 3 - Mixing 6 and 8 Count Swing Dance Intermediate Class

Are you an Intermediate level Lindy Hopper starting to tackle the challenge of mixing 6-count and 8-count moves in your dancing? Then this class is for you! In this class we will play with “Leading & Following when 6 becomes 8”: taking 6-count moves you already know and learning new 8-count variations on them, with lots of practice social dancing to feel the difference. This will help Leaders lead with intention, building confidence in your footwork, pulse and sequencing. Followers practice following in the moment, building your sensitivity to rhythm & footwork, power & pacing and “letting go” of attachment to 6 or 8 patterns. This skill also opens up fun possibilities for musicality! Walk-ins are welcome or pre-book online. Teacher: Sharon Davis, a world renowned swing dancer with 20+ years experience teaching & performing! Where: Jazzbourne, 443 New Cross Rd, London SE14 6TA Price: £15 / £10 concession / 1 class credit Prerequisites: this is a Level 3 (Intermediate) Lindy Hop class. So you should already be confident with your basic 6-count and 8-count footwork, and know the fundamental moves like Send Out, Pass By, Tuck Turn, Swing Out (aka Lindy Turn), Lindy Circle, etc. If you enjoy this topic, next week we’ll continue exploring the theme of Mixing 6- and 8-Counts with “Leading & Following when 12 becomes 8.” (This is not a course, walk-ins are welcome to any class) Bookings: www.jazzmad.co.uk/classes Questions?
