Introductory Swing (Lindy Hop) classes every Tuesday at Motion ! Class
starts at approx 8.00 pm !!!

SO SPREAD THE WORD AROUND, COME ON OVER AND START A NEW CRAZE AROUND
TOWN !!!!

As a side note..guys should know that last Tuesday (our second very
first class) there were ten girls and me. So come on guys ! Step up to
it !!!!

Now to answer a few questions that have been popping up ever since the
classes were started...

1. What the heck is Lindy Hop ?
Swing dancing is an entire genre of dancing and Lindy hop is one of
the very very very first forms of Swing dancing that first became
popular around the late 1920s. It officially got its name in 1927 when
the headlines read Lindy (being the nick name for Charles Lindberg)
hops the Atlantic.

2. Do I need to bring a partner ?
Lindy hop is a partnered dance but you do not need to bring a
partner !

3. Do I need previous dance experience ?
NO !!! Only experience required is in walking and jumping...I am
pretty sure most of y'all have a few decades of experience in that...

4. Are we going to be doing stuff where the girl jumps over the guys
head does a hand stand pops back up and then crawls under the guys
legs and the guy grabs....etc...

NO ! Aerials (or acrobatic moves) are strictly for performance
routines, etc, only to be done by two dancers who have been dancing
together for a while. SO no...You are not going to be cashing in on
your health insurance because of swing dancing...

5. What should you wear ?

Well comfortable shoes. Something flat soled and soft like walking
shoes or x-trainers would work quite well. High heeled shoes with hard
leather bottoms might tend to get quite painful so avoid that at all
cost.
