Sean and Jen are coming to Boston to teach a Lindy Hop workshop and two Air Steps workshops!
Sean is a prominent member of several NYC-based dance troupes including Frankie Manning’s legacy troupe, The Big Apple Lindy Hoppers, and a cast member of the renowned stage show, Sw!ng Out. Jen is also a member of several NYC-based teams including the Big Apple Lindy Hoppers, Project Connect, and the Harvest Moon Hoppers. Together, they are sought-after teachers and award-winning competitors.
If you sign for all three workshops and the social dance, you can apply the code ALLDAYPASS to get $25 off the event cost!
*Spin Cycles: Lindy Hop Connection and Musicality (10:30-12:00)*
Level up your Lindy Hop with a focus on timing and connection. We will explore turns and spins for both partners to broaden your horizons. Dancers will be able to deploy these ideas, if not these steps, to immediately unlock distinct ways of addressing the music.
*Ground Zero: Beginner Air Steps (12:15-2:15)*
Welcome to the wonderful world of Air Steps! In this foundational workshop, you’ll learn the essentials of partner lifts from the ground up (pun intended). Sean & Jen will cover some classic steps including the A-frame, frog jump, and toss out. They'll also share how to safely navigate the training process and offer ideas for incorporating these steps into your dancing. No partner necessary.
*Taking Flight: Intermediate Air Steps (3:30-6:00)*
This class is for you if your partnership can safely and comfortably execute an A-frame, frog jump and/or toss out. (Or if you attended our AirSteps Foundations workshop.) We’ll share how to safely navigate the training process for an intermediate airstep and offer ideas for incorporating these steps into your dancing! Partner required: we will not be rotating partners in class.
*Swing City Boston* (Beginner Lesson 8pm, Social Dancing 9pm)*
Finish out your day with a night of dancing with Swing City! Sign up for the whole day to get a discounted ticket.

Acknowledgment of risk: The two air steps workshops will involve jumping, lifting, and compression through the wrists - know your body & stay safe! Please wear sneakers and comfortable clothing. Be prepared for a workout! Bring water and stay hydrated throughout class.
