You can lead, you can follow, now let’s put them together! Join Chelsea and Calvin as we learn some cool ways to switch roles mid-dance and explore what makes a switch moment that feels good, clear, and oh so buttery smooth.

For this class, you should already be familiar with dancing both roles: dancing for entire songs, leading and following swingouts, and doing it all comfortably to medium tempos. No experience switching roles in the middle of the dance is required.

For our more regular switch dancers out there, this challenging class will push the way you view your switch dancing. Chelsea and Calvin will explore momentum and shape, and how switch dancing influences our technique – whether we’re leading, following, or in that liminal space between the two.

For this class, you should be comfortable with a variety of lindy hop and Charleston patterns, dancing to faster (e.g. 180bpm+) music, and incorporating musical choices and variations – all in both roles.

“Communication and Groove in Closed Position”

This class will focus on groove variations according to the rhythm of the music in partner dancing, with the intent of enabling communication.

Through different songs at medium to fast tempos, we will find a common pulse with our partners while learning to maintain autonomy of footwork.

We will explore a range of connection points in order to make it easier and more accessible to share ideas with our partner.

To you, following and leading boil down to intentional choice and flexible power dynamics. You dance because you crave to experience your partner’s dialect over your own, and you care most about having fun in rhythm.

This class will push you to synthesize all you know and are curious about. Come ready to sweat together and support one another in equal measure.

Let’s face it: We cannot truly partner dance without teamwork and agreement. Our relationship is cumulatively energized by mutually enthusiastic regard.

Students will work with basic movements and exercise strong opinions as they strive for their “hot damn” dance.

How much influence can followers have on the dance? How can leaders respond to the follower's influence to create a back-and-forth dialogue? In this class, we will explore how both partners can contribute equally to a conversational dance that goes beyond just responding to each others' footwork variations.

We will dive into nitty gritty partner technique and try to answer the question, who is actually leading and who is actually following? And no, this is not a switch class!

”Anybody Can Tap” on Saturday and dancers with any tap experience at all (yes, even just one class!). No tap shoes required.

We will go over drills and things you can do at home to practice so you can continue to improve your tap skills.
