World Lindy Hop Weekend - Margaret River

Save the date and join us May 25th and 26th for World Lindy Hop Day weekend in Margaret River! We're brewing up an exciting two-day event that will include lindy and aerial workshops with Jet, a live band Saturday night social, and a Picnic & Practice to wrap it all up! World Lindy Hop Day is held each year on 26 May, Frankie Manning's birthday! This year Frankie would have been 110 years old. Naturally, this weekend will be full of inspiration from Frankie while we celebrate and remember the roots of Lindy Hop, originating in the African American communities of Harlem New York. All profits from our World Lindy Hop Weekend will be donated to the Black Lindy Hoppers Fund: https://blacklindyhoppersfund.org/ A huge piece of Lindy Hop's legacy are aerials or "air steps". These impressive, acrobatic moves gave Lindy Hop airtime and performance troupes like the Whitey's Lindy Hoppers (which included Frankie) performed Lindy and aerials across the US and internationally, largely contributing to how well known the dance became and has evolved to today! Sunday's aerials workshop will ease us into aerials over a few hours, giving us plenty of time to build body awareness and leave with a handful of classic aerials for our back pockets. 💃Program UPDATED!🕺 OVERVIEW: 3 x 1-hour Lindy Hop Workshops on Saturday 1 x social featuring the Local Vintage Quartet on Saturday Night 1 x 2.5 hour aerials workshop on Sunday morning 1 x Picnic & Practice 🌟🌟🌟 SATURDAY Workshops 11:00 - 12:00 | Coffee Social 12:00 - 1:00 | Lindy Workshop #1 - Lindy Chorus Routine 1:00 - 1:15 | Break 1:15 - 2:15 | Lindy Workshop #2 - Lindy Chorus Routine 2:15 - 2:30 | Break 2:30 - 3:30 | Lindy Workshop #3 - Jam Circles 🌟🌟🌟 Saturday Social 7:00 - 10:00 | World Lindy Social with band, the Local Vintage 🌟🌟🌟 SUNDAY Workshops 10:00 - 12:30 | Aerials Workshop 12:30 - 12:45 | Break 12:45 - 3:00 | Picnic & Practice Venues & Addresses - Witchy Brews (Coffee Social) - 3 Redgate Rd, Witchcliffe - Druid's Hall (Saturday Workshops)- 10418 Bussell Hwy, Witchcliffe - Cowaramup District Club (Saturday Social) - 10 Memorial Drive, Cowaramup - Horizon Gymnastics Club (Aerials) - 16 Burler Dr, Vasse - Dawson Estate Nature Playground (Picnic) - Napoleon Promenade, Kealy (parking on Gurnard Loop and Amberjack Ave) 🔥🔥🔥 TICKETS AND PASSES Full Pass - $95 -All Saturday Workshops -Saturday night Social -Sunday Aerials Saturday Pass - $65 -All Saturday Workshops -Saturday night Social Social Only - $40 Lindy Workshops Only - $40 Aerials Workshops Only - $40 All passes and tickets will be available Tuesday, 7 May at this link: https://southwestswingmr.square.site/ Stay tuned for more details, venue information, and ticket release soon!
