Level 1
Level 1
Module: 1.5
This module requires that you've already taken our 6 count and 8 count modules. This module combines what you've learned and helps advance your skills so that you're ready to make the jump to Level 2.
You will learn to connect with your partner to achieve the tension and compression that makes swing dancing feel so good! You'll also learn a variety of moves, including various tuck turns, pass by's, send outs, and more! Our goal by the end of class is that you are familiar with the fundamentals of Lindy Hop and can incorporate both 6-count and 8-count moves into a single dance, with and without triple steps!
This class will feel challenging at certain points, but is sure to get you dancing!
You must take all three Level 1 modules before progressing to Level 2.
