TEACHERS
Your teachers this year will be:
Lindy Hop (8 hrs) - Lana Williams & David Zilkha
The classes will cover some of the essential skills dancers at all levels need: to improve how your dancing flows, make you more balanced and in control of your movement, more energy efficient, more inventive and fun to dance with, with improved partner connection and communication. The teaching will be a mix of solo and partner, with the focus of the classes on better partner dancing. Approximately 5 hours will be taught by Lana alone, 3 hours by Lana & David together.
There will also be 5+ hours taster classes at/before all social dances.
See schedule below for exactly when the classes are.
