Registration Opens
11:15a-12:15p
Class 1
"The Greatest Myth in Lindy Hop"
From day one we were all told a lie and we spend the rest of our lindy hop journeys pressing up against a glass ceiling of our own making. Wanna borrow my hammer?
12:30p-1:30p
Class 2
"Chorus Creativity"
The lexicon of great jazz junk was maintained and kept alive by chorus girls. Period. Let's look at some sweet moves inspired by the most overlooked, and arguably most important, contributors to jazz history.
1:45p-2:45p
Class 3
"The Forgotten Co-Pilot"
You have great ideas, and when the music plays, we tend to go ham on all those ideas ... then we run out and turn on auto-pilot, running the same moves back or relying on some oldies but goodies that keep time until the song runs out... but have you checked in with your co-pilot lately? Maybe there's some good stuff there ... I dunno
