I Want Mo' Swing!
Come and join us for our first semester one-day amazing workshop!
This shall be a day of swingin' and bluesin' (yes, you heard right, we'll be introduced into the dreamy world of blues by Jenn AND spun around lindy land with Lee and Seema). Starting at 11, we'll work on our lindy awesomeness and on our blues groove (order of working to be confirmed). The night will be ours, with a live band to keep our lindy going and an all-night blues bonanza to take us to the morning.
The workshop is perfect for everyone that joined us this September and wants... well, more swing. It also has the potential of hooking you up for life and making you sign up for all dance workshops you can find in the coming months.
