Work hard and DEVELOP A LOT:
If you want to do that extra work to make a big development in a short amount of time. If you want to dedicate and to work hard like a professional. Now you have the possibility to get fourteen hours of a group-private (with just a few other dancers) - this is your opportunity!
We are going to coach you and practice with you to help you become as good as possible in the shortest amount of time. We strongly believe in the importance of getting the wide perspective of this dance and to become a good Lindy Hopper you need to have some knowledge and practice in tap, vernacular jazz and of course: rhythms and an understanding of the jazz-music! That is why we include all of this in the program.
Three days of hard work including:
14 hours of teacher-led training including
On top of this you will need to work on your own both before the workshop but also during the workshop as in between the teacher-led classes to be able to benefit the most. You must be on an advanced level in you Lindy dancing to be able to join the workshop.

If you like to sign up with a partner we do recommend that you sign up with a partner that you can continue work with also after the workshop. We have had couples that have been put together for this particular workshop and that also worked just fine..
When signing up you give a short background on your dancing and also for what dates you are interested in signing up for. We might also ask you for a video of you dancing.
