Forest City Swing will be offering Lindy Hop Workshops Starting in January 2012. These are monthly workshops with individual sessions taking place on Thursday nights before our 6 count lesson.

Who should take the workshops:

We encourage everyone to take the Lindy Hop Workshops! Whether you are a beginner or you have been dancing for a while, anyone can improve upon their knowledge and abilities in order to become a better dancer.

How it works:

The workshops are separated into 3 catagories, Charleston, Lindy Fundamentals and Lindy Melting Pot. Anyone can attend the Charleston workshop.  However, everyone  must take Lindy Fundamentals before advancing to the Lindy Melting Pot. Each workshop will be 4 weeks long(generally). When you register, you are committing to 4 weeks of workshops (1 hour in length each week) on Thursday nights before swing dancing.

Once you have taken any of our workshops, you can re-take them at no additional cost whenever we offer them.

The workshops have limited space, so sign up quickly. Currently we are at a 30 person maximum per workshop. A minimum of 10 people are needed to run the class.

Registration:

Starting December 22nd, you will be able to register for the workshops. Register with Paul at the DJ table or email him at forestcityswing@gmail.com.

If you come swing dancing: register on Thursday nights at Swing dancing with payment.
