Swingin in the Streets

Sat 11 Sep 2021, 7-10 pm. Come out and swing dance in the streets outside The Bull downtown! The dancing is free, but please support the event by buying drinks at The Bull if you can. Are you new to swing dancing? Need a refresher after all this time away? We've got you covered! There will be a beginner's level class at 7pm, followed by a social dance with plenty of jazz to swing to! Dance with your friends or with everyone, whatever you are comfortable with. We love partnering up with new dancers, so don't be afraid to ask for a dance! If you don't feel comfortable partner dancing, you can do some solo jazz. We will have someone to teach you a few moves. Masks? Please follow CDC guidelines. Parking: There is parking at the SW downtown parking garage near Loosey’s. I don’t think it’s free anymore.

Lindy Hop Rhythm and Variations Lesson and Open Practice

Mon 27 Sep 2021, 8-10 pm. 8:00 - 9:00 pm Lindy Hop Rhythm & Variations Lesson 9:00 - 10:00 pm Open Practice "Rock step, triple step, triple step!" A phrase echoed many a time in Lindy Hop lessons, that 6-count basic which we are all familiar with. But what if we varied that 6-count basic and replaced the rock step or the triple step with something else, like a slide for instance? As a lead or a follow, you can play around independently with varying your footwork and throwing in fun rhythm variations while you dance. The ideas for variations of this kind are endless! If this interests you, then this lesson will cover some ideas for variations you can take with you out to the dance floor and provide you with a framework for approaching your own rhythm and variations in Lindy Hop. Our guest instructor for this lesson is - drum roll, please - Jennifer Fill. Jen was invited to her first Lindy Hop lesson in 2014 and was instantly obsessed with how much fun danc ... UF Campus, J.
