About Slow Lindy Hop
In three lessons, the teachers will guide you through everything you need to enjoy slow music. From the basic steps, to the dynamics of leading, to the figures that will help you stand out. So you never have to worry about not knowing what to do with slow songs or, God forbid, getting bored.
About Blues
The origins of the blues begin in the African-American slave community in the southern United States. Bluesmen were mostly laborers and farmers. They mostly sang about the hardships of (slave) life. So the blues is very much about emotion and experience. The festival includes a screening with a talk about the history of the blues. In the first part of the workshop we will cover the basics of dancing the blues to slow music, how to make a connection and give you inspiration for figures you will enjoy in the blues. In the second part of the workshop, we’ll go back to our roots and focus on ourselves. We will discover what kind of dancers we are and how to dare to express ourselves in dance. We will also take an in-depth look at an important part of this dance, the connection. We will teach and inspire you not to be afraid of slow music and dance the blues.
