We now run two fun and energetic classes every week. Come learn the joyful dances of the 1920′s, 30's and 40′s! How our classes work and what w
e teach:
7:10 pm – Level 1: Beginner-friendly swing dancing – start any time - £10 for the hour! We teach from the absolute basics each week – you don’t need any experience, or a partner, just turn up ready for an hour of fun!
8:15pm – Level 2 – £10, or £5 if you do Level 1 first. This class assumes knowledge of the basic rhythms covered in our Level 1 class and heads into more technically challenging content that aims to really push your dancing, while also embracing the joy of lindy hop! We will also be using this class to learn some classic solo routines, so look out for that on our class plan (http://www.swingpatrol.co.uk/camden-class-plan/) and updates on our page. What is the lindy hop? Lindy hop is the original form of swing dancing that we teach in our classes. It was created and danced to the sounds of big band jazz from the 1920s, 30s and 40s. It is a unique partner dance for anyone and everyone and can be danced to all tempos - fast, slow and anything in between. The most famous and extreme footage of swing dancing to date is the Helzapoppin' clip - check it out - Amazing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsxtGBMQGq4
To really know what the lindy hop is you will have to come and try it out for yourself, we look forward to seeing you next Monday at 7 pm at our beautiful venue. All welcome! :)
