CLASSES AND ASSIGNMENTS - for Lindy Hop teachers
An education specialized for Lindy Hop teachers and Lindy Hop dancers that want to work more in the tradition of "old school" Lindy Hop where we put a lot of emphasis on what we have learnt from original dancers like Frankie Manning, Norma Miller and Al Minns. These dancers are our biggest source of information and inspiration who we have all worked and danced with, direct or indirect. Frankie Manning is the one dancer that we worked more closely with than any other dancer of the original dancers and Åsa even had the opportunity to teach together with Frankie for some years in the 1990's.
We will help you grow as a teacher, partly by creating a deeper understanding of the history of Lindy Hop but also to giving you useful tools and exercises to develop as a teacher from a pedagogical perspective.
With 28 years of experience from teaching Lindy Hop we will share some of our most useful experiences, lessons and advice for teachers. It is mainly the same "lessons" that most Lindy Hop teachers sooner or later figure out after many, many years of teaching and reflecting - but you will get them easily served, compiled and explained already now :-)
Maximum 10 couples per group - First come, first serve!
