Workshop: Lindy Charleston

Adult school celebrates Grimeton World Heritage Site’s centenary “100 years of communication” by getting everyone ready to dance at the party Great Grimeton Party! They are simply starting this fall to prepare for the party of the century next spring where you can dance your heart out and feel like you are experiencing “the roaring 20’ies” and the spirit of the 1920s. In addition to Lindy Hop courses, we also offer stand-alone workshops in Charleston, one of the dances that inspired Lindy Hop. A workshop open to anyone who has taken the beginner or advanced Lindy Hop course and is reasonably comfortable with the Charleston step. Kicksteps and Charleston steps are many people’s favorite because they go well with faster songs and can feel wonderfully lush! We will change dance partners at the workshop. Target group
All ages from 15 years and up. This course is for those who have not danced Lindy hop before or for those who have had a break and want to repeat the basics. Thorough review of steps and technique, and focus on feeling and musical pleasure. You will learn useful figures / tours that you then mix as you wish. To consider when registering for courses and workshops in Lindy Hop / Charleston
By registering in pairs (as a driver and a follower) you have priority on the seats as there are usually fewer drivers than followers. On the courses, we then change dance partners, which is appreciated when you have tried and provides faster and better learning. So grab a friend and sign up together! COUPLE – Send in one registration per person and state the partner’s name in the “message”. SINGLE – We will give single enrollees a place in courses as there are even pairs. Indicate in the “message” if you want to be a driver, follower or whatever. About the course leader
Jenny Ammilon, who leads the courses, is appreciated for her clear pedagogy, joy of dance and ability to help individual participants at each level. She has danced Lindy hop and other swing dances for many years and taught in West Coast Jitterbugs in Gothenburg.
