The Rhythm Section
Train Solo, Improve Your Lindy
Day & Time: Monday, 19:00 – 20:00
Dates: 19.08.2024 – 26.08.2024
Rhythm is so crucial to lindy hop. When you understand and express your rhythm better, your movements will look and feel better, and your dancing can better reflect the feel and values of this Black American art form.
In this course we’ll share ideas and exercises that we love, which have helped many students make their dancing more rhythmical, more “in the pocket” of the music. Our goal is to help you develop your ability to hear and react more in each moment of your dancing; we’ll explore a variety of approaches to improve your awareness and build references in your own body, and we’ll give you a few variations and decorations to give your training some fun and variety, and all so that you’ll be better able to express yourself in a way that matches the rhythm section.
This will be a mixed-level course, both newer and very experienced dancers can get a lot out of this training. We'll be training solo, with the main goal of improving your partnered Lindy Hop. To get the most out of this course, you should have some experience with Lindy Hop already, and be comfortable with a basic repertoire of moves in both closed and open positions using Triple-Step footwork. If you've only just started Lindy Hop, you're welcome to join, but be ready for a challenge 🙂

You can also try a nearby Parkhaus: there’s the nearby Scheck-In Centre (entrance from Kleinschmidtstraße), or a bit further away the P1 (entrance from Poststraße).
