Second Cup Swing will be hosting a special Essential Swing Dance Workshop for Beginners -- as well as for Experienced Dancers who want to reconnect with their fundamentals! This 5.5 hour intensive lead/follow workshop will focus on Frame, Energy, Balance/Counterbalance, and Connection to see how they are essential to making the dance work both in Jitterbug and Lindy-Hop. Beginners will get full instruction from scratch and experienced dancers, with a bit of patience, will get to rediscover the core dynamics of the dance.
Prerequisites: None! However-- if you want to be at your best and get the most out of this fast-paced workshop, practicing a few basics ahead of time will give you a tremendous boost!
- Basic Jitterbug/6-count footwork, and basic Lindy/8-count footwork
- Frame -- keeping a bend in the frame of your arms and not stretching too far or collapsing too close to your partner as you move
Registration: Second Cup Swing will only offer this workshop twice each year, and enrollment is limited! Register now for the excellent price of just $35 ($24 for students/Ecclesia members). The workshop will be held at Taft Street Coffee (2115 Taft, Houston, TX 77006), on Saturday, July 18th from 1:00pm - 7:00pm, followed by the monthly dance ($4, included with workshop) afterwards from 8:00pm-midnight!
