Intermediate Lindy Hop Workshop

DESCRIPTION:  Level up your Lindy Hop!  Utilizing classic swing dance routines from the original Lindy Hoppers, you'll learn some snazzy moves and leave with plenty of material to practice and a better understanding of what makes this dance tick.  You'll also gain better technique, pulse, improvisation, and connection with your partner.  Please arrive early to register and take the workshop (doors open 6:40pm).

PREREQUISITES:  Those taking the workshop need to be comfortable dancing the fundamentals of Swing and Lindy Hop.  This includes 6-count and 8-count footwork and patterns/moves including Swing Out, Lindy Circle, and Charleston.

INSTRUCTOR:  Emma McAllister encountered Lindy Hop in 2016 and has been hooked ever since!  She’s danced across the globe in Turkey, Greece, Poland, England, and all across the USA, competing at Jumpin’ at Istanbul, Retro Weekend (Warsaw), Uptown Swingout (Minneapolis), Portland Lindy Exchange, Camp Jitterbug (Seattle), and Stormy Weather Jazz Fest (Seattle).  At the Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown in New Orleans, Emma and her partner won their first three dance battles (pictured above) and advanced all the way to quarterfinals!  Emma has taught at venues in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Port Townsend, Seattle, Tacoma, and Los Angeles.  Her teaching emphasizes solid rhythmic foundations, playful improvisation, and solo-jazz-infused musicality.  She loves incorporating the stories of the original creators of this dance, and firmly believes anyone can learn!

The Dance Factory is located in Westshore Plaza, 203 Westshore Plaza, Tampa, FL 33609.  Park and enter next to Maggiano's; once inside take your first right and walk to the end to find The Dance Factory.  The Dance Factory is a beautiful and spacious new event venue with great atmosphere.
