Push and Pull the Tempo! Workshops
Lindy What? Nijmegen - Dominicanenstraat 53 Nijmegen
19:15 - 22:15
Ever felt like sitting out faster songs? Or felt uneasy with slower music? Ending up dancing only in that mid tempo range? Great as that might be, there is a LOT of fun to be found outside this safety zone, and more dances means more happy chaos!
On the 14th and 21th of April, these special workshops by awesome guest teachers will help you break the limits of your slow and fast dancing.
Deirdre & Joost (Slowfeet Studio) will take you into the realm of slow swing dancing with slow Lindy and slow Bal, teaching you how to connect and style dances on slower, more swampy jazz and really bite down on that juicy groove!
Ilja & Yuliya (Swingin Utrecht) will speed things up, and teach you the energetic up-tempo techniques of Lindy Hop and faster styles. You’ll never feel overwhelmed by faster swing jazz again, as you’ll learn how to speed up those triples without getting exhausted, and really connect to this playful music and with your partner!
Since these tempos do ask for specific techniques in terms of connection and frame as well as be familiar with figures like the Swing out and the Circle, you do need some experience to join, at least about nine months to one year of Lindy Hop experience. (For us Nijmegen Lindy Hoppers this means you can join if you currently dance (or danced) in either Lindy B or C!)
