Learn to Lindy Hop 3-hour workshop with Simon Selmon

Lindy Hop - the grand-daddy of all the Swing dances, combining 6 count, 8 count & Charleston variations, is an expressive, improvised dance form that is still enjoyed today, almost 100 years after it's inception!

This workshop is aimed at Fast Beginners and those who have done some Lindy Hop classes before but want to understand the technique and connection behind the moves.  

Simon, who has been dancing the Lindy Hop since 1986 will be sharing his experience of this dance form.  It's about letting the spirit of the dance move you, having fun and feeling more confident on the dance floor.

No partner required and whilst no experience is necessary, the class will move at a faster pace than absolute beginners and is suitable for those with some experience.

Cost: Advance £30 + bf / £35 on the day (Please note, advanced bookings close at 9am on the day of the workshop, after that please bring cash on the day)

Simon is an international award winning teacher who founded SwingdanceUK in 1986 following a trip to NY where he met many original dancers and instantly wanted to share the music & dance that had intoxicated him so much. 

He believes whilst the dance has changed over the years it is important to educate about its history & social context. To give new dancers the best opportunity to gain the most out of their dancing and to experience the fun & satisfaction of Swing dance.  He will take you on a journey back to the heyday of Swing dance.  His goal is to share some of that original spirit that he found in the 'old timers', keeping the traditions of the dance alive whilst taking it into the 21 century.
