Lindy Hop Lesson ( With Guest Teachers! )
Swing Dance is a fun and creative style of dancing that comes from the Jazz Age of the early 1900s! At our lessons, you’ll learn something new each week and meet others who are interested in dance. We always welcome complete beginners on all our classes, so don’t worry if you’ve never danced before! Our teachers and committee members are always happy to help you catch up if you miss a step or need a bit of extra guidance. After every Monday session, we head to the Barrelhouse pub together, so it’s a great opportunity to socialise and get to know everyone!
This week we are excited to bring guest teachers Ollie and Helen! They have over 25 years of Lindy hop dancing experience ,and trained under international teachers such as Ryan Francois and Lana Williams. In this lesson they will teach the Swing Out, the most iconic dance move in Lindy Hop! This is also a fantastic opportunity for anyone who haven't yet attended classes outside the university to learn from the wider Bristol swing community professional dancers!
Here is their website for those interested : https://www.olliehelenlindyhop.co.uk/
There’s no need to bring a partner, as we rotate partners during the lesson, but feel free to bring someone along if you’d like! You can wear whatever you feel comfortable in, whether that’s vintage-inspired, casual or sporty clothing. Bringing a bottle of water is recommended! :)
Please note that, as we have guest teachers this week, members will also be charged an entry fee, while non-members will pay a slightly higher rate. See below for more details:
