LINDY LAB: Week 1

  • Te Whare Hapori o ngā Puna Waiora | Newtown Community Centre Corner of Rintoul and Colombo Streets Newtown, Wellington, 6021 New Zealand (map)

Calling all those who want to level up their Lindy!

We have a special two week crash-course designed specifically for those who want to make the jump from beginner to intermediate (and those who want to brush up on their skills)!

Basically, if you're wanting to move up in your Lindy journey but not sure how to get there, these open-level workshops are for you!*

They’re also a great option for any intermediate dancers who want to build a solid foundation for 2027 and beyond, or for those who want to try switching leading/following!

Week 1 | Nov 10, 6:30pm-8:45pm: Swing-out deep-dive

Swing-outs are one of the fundamental moves that make Lindy-Hop, well, Lindy-Hop! They're awesome but can be tricky to master (journey not a destination!) In this 2h workshop we'll hone in on the craft and techniques that make swing-outs feel oh-so good, as well as introduce some fun styling and variations you can incorporate to make them your own!

Week 2 | Nov 17; 6.30pm-8:45pm: Improver essentials

Switching between the fundamental Lindy footwork can be a challenge! This 2h workshop is designed to build your confidence in moving between 6-count, 8-count and Charleston. On top of this, we'll be focusing on expanding your dance vocabulary so you can hit the social dance floor with style!

*For beginners who come to both workshops you’ll (pretty much) be ready to join intermediate classes in 2027! (Please still check in with the facilitators before committing to intermediate classes).
