LA Style Lindy & Jitterbug with Grace&Blake

Grab the chance and dive into SoCal Lindy and some Jitterbugging!

SoCal Lindy
(sometimes referred to as "Smooth style" or "LA style") combines a certain kind of counterbalance and a Bal-swing propensity to rotate to create a novel look and feel within Lindy Hop. You can see examples of this in Blake's own Dean & Jewel compilation.

Learn some new "twists" on classic moves and connection technique that'll leave you starry-eyed and craving more!

Prerequisite: comfortable doing typical 6-count basics (tuck turn, send out, pass-by) and swing outs and circles at at least 150 BPM.

Jitterbug
During the swing era, dancers would commonly learn and mix together all variety of swing dances.

Three styles that were particularly prominent in original-era and contemporary Southern California were Lindy, Balboa, and Shag.

Come learn the characteristics of each style, what makes them all similar and different, and play with creative ways to blend them together.

This will be a mixed level class. Some know-how in one of the three dances might be helpful 😉.
