Tabitha will be back teaching true beginner swing dance lessons at the UAH Fitness Center this spring. These lessons are for anyone who has never danced swing and wants to start from scratch or who knows how to dance but wants to improve their basics, this is the lesson for you! We will start with no required knowledge and, by the end of the class, have you comfortably dancing at social dances.
In January we will be starting with Charleston. Charleston was the beginning of swing dance and comes in multiple forms, (20's, 30's, tandem, etc). It is a strait forward dance which can be danced solo or with a partner. It can be danced slow or fast. This is perfect for beginning dancers just getting into swing as well as returning dancers who need to practice placing ther kicks.
For February, we'll be teaching beginning 6-count lindy. For those just starting to learn to dance, this is just what you need to get into it. For those who are experienced dancers, this is your chance to not worry about the moves and work on your fundamentals.
The March Beginner swing class will be lindy hop. Whether you're starting from scratch, trying to solidify what you learned with Jason and Danielle, or simply trying to make your fundamentals crisp and clean, this is the class for you. Tabitha and Gabriel will be covering all the fundamentals as well as the lindy physics that underpins it.
The May Beginner lesson will be Charleston. Since it's our last month, we're going to go off the beaten path and get into the Charleston you don't normally get!
UPDATE 3/15: Lessons 3/16 are cancelled due to spring break. We will resume next week with more lindy fundamentals!
Update 3/28: We've extended through May. May will likely be the last lesson for a while as Tabitha works on being a mother first and a dancer second.
The beginner class will continue beginning lindy hop. We'll get a more thorough understanding of how lindy works, the lead and follow and a few cool moves to boot!
