In the 1920's, before there was the "Lindy Hop", Charleston was all the rage! Though many elements of Lindy Hop developed from the 20s Partner Charleston, it all started with a very different look and technique from what we take for granted in the Lindy today. This class will focus on that 20s style dance, giving you a variety of partner moves and styling variations from the era. We'll work on that unique connection and movement of the 20s Partner Charleston that make it a fun dance of its own! By knowing what came before, you'll get a deeper understanding of your Lindy Hop. We'll even cover how the dance progressed from the 20s style, to incorporating the breakaway, and further developments that opened up the style and technique to become the "Swingout" or basic of the Lindy Hop. Whether you want to dance a strictly 20s Partner Charleston dance, or incorporate the early Charleston and Lindy styles in your dancing, or just have a better range of connection and movement skills, this will be a fun class you don't want to miss!
