Just Jive Lindy Hop, the contemporary dance club in Dursley, is excited to promote Lindy Hop Stroud, a fantastic local event that you won't want to miss. Happening at The Subscription Rooms in George Street, Stroud, Gloucestershire, this event offers Lindy Hop dance classes suitable for beginners and intermediate level dancers.
So, what exactly is Lindy Hop? Well, it's a fun partner dance that originated in The Savoy Ballroom, Harlem, New York, in the 1920s and 1930s. This dance style is all about swinging and grooving to the mesmerising tunes of artists like Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Artie Shaw, and Duke Ellington. At Lindy Hop Stroud, you'll be learning the 'Savoy' style, which was made famous by the legendary Frankie Manning.
Whether you're a complete beginner or have some experience under your belt, these classes have got you covered. The focus for beginners is to teach the basics step-by-step, while intermediate dancers will get the chance to build on their core moves and learn exciting tricks, footwork variations, and Charleston steps. Musicality is also a key aspect, enhancing your ability to move and grove to the swinging rhythms.
Don't worry if you don't have a dance partner yet! Lindy Hop Stroud encourages participants to mix and mingle by rotating partners during the class. So, you'll have the opportunity to meet new people and practice with different dance partners.
All you need to bring along are some smooth-soled flat shoes and comfortable clothing, as you'll be in for an energetic and lively session. Each class is priced at only £6, and you can conveniently pay at the door with both cash and card accepted.
Join the Lindy Hop Stroud event and experience the joy of dancing, learning a unique dance style, and getting fit all at the same time. Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to have a blast with Just Jive Lindy Hop and meet fellow dance enthusiasts in Stroud.
