8-Count Lindy Hop Lessons and Open Practice

Mon 29 Nov, 8-9:45 pm. UF Campus, J. Wayne Reitz Union, Dance Studio, Gainesville. Chris Ortega. Free. UF Swing Dance Club - [facebook][events]

8:00 - 9:00 pm Lindy Hop Rhythm Musicality Lesson
9:00 - 9:45 pm Open Practice

Musicality! It's how a dancer expresses music in their own body. When we first learn a new partner dance, we are so focused on the footwork and the moves and the basics that we can forget we're dancing to awesome music! In order to level up your dancing, Jennifer Fill will be teaching a lesson focused on musicality, to give you creative ideas that will allow you to go beyond your Lindy Hop basics!

Jen was invited to her first Lindy Hop lesson in 2014 and was instantly obsessed with how much fun dancers were having. The joy of swing dancing led her to participate in many workshops and exchanges at home and abroad. She has a particular love for Solo Jazz and the creativity it brings to individual and partner dancing, and she loves helping dancers have fun expressing themselves and connecting to the music in this way. When she's not dancing, she's... well, she's always dancing!

Join Jen on Monday, Nov. 29, at the UF Reitz Union Dance Studios for a FREE 1-hour special topics lesson followed by 45 minutes of open practice. Here's the lowdown:

PRICE: Absolutely FREE

WHERE: UF Reitz Union Dance Studios, located in the Lower Level of the UF Reitz Union (take an elevator down to LL, the Lower Level)

PARKING: Parking is free at the Reitz Union Parking Garage after 4:30 pm. For most other parking lots at UF, parking decal restrictions lift after 5:30 pm. I recommend coming 15 minutes early if it's your first time coming to the Reitz Union at UF, to allow for enough time to find the garage and the dance studios.

WHO ARE THESE LESSONS FOR?

All members of the Gainesville community are welcome, this includes UF students and non-students alike! No dance partner is necessary, we will rotate partners frequently throughout the lesson. For this lesson, it is recommended that you have taken at least one Lindy Hop lesson and are familiar with basic 6-count Lindy Hop.

DM me (Chris Ortega) on Messenger if you have any questions. Looking forward to swing dancing with you!
