Join Portland Swing Project for guided practice sessions on Saturday mornings for all levels of Lindy Hoppers.
Each practice will start with a 30-minute instructor-guided warm up focusing on skills all Lindy Hoppers need (think footwork, body awareness, rhythm, pulse, solo drills, etc.)
The next hour will be a guided practice session: you will choose what you'd like to work on, but instructors will give a framework for focusing on how to practice, how to give feedback, and how to make the most of your practice time. Since this is an all-levels practice session, we will work to build an atmosphere of community, bringing dancers of different levels together.
Prerequisite: You're currently in or have taken at least one Portland Swing Project or Lindy Maine class (or have prior Lindy Hop experience). If you have zero experience please consider attending a Thursday Night Dance or a Tuesday weekly class.
$10 pre-registration required
Instructors: Becca Pruente, Kento Ichikawa, and Ashlee Lombard (you will have two instructors at each practice)
When: Saturdays from 10:30am-Noon
