This fortnight’s variation is Unnecessary!
Can you believe it’s 4 been years since we started? We’re going to be taking a break from making FVF videos for a little while, so we made this one unnecessarily complicated. Let us know how you got on! Hopefully there’s still plenty of things for you to work on in the playlist of 105 variations.
This fortnight’s variation is Reverse Kick Kick Ball Change Step
Have a fanastic Christmas Break everyone, keep doing kick ball changes though!
If you’re feeling confident with your Lindy Hop fundamentals, a swingout is the next move you’ll want to conquer!
Swingouts are the quintessential move of Lindy Hop and so important that we’ve dedicated an entire four week course to teaching them.
Wednesday, 5th-26th February
8:30 – 9:30pm at The Dance Studio Leeds
£32 whole course
No partner required but pre-booking is essential. Email swingdanceleeds@gmail.com
The course will go over the basic shape of a swingout and progress to more in-depth technique, styling, and a couple of variations to spice things up a bit. As usual with our courses numbers will be limited so we can give you personal feedback on what you need to make your swingout awesome.
Appropriate for those who have learnt a swingout shape and want to improve on their technique and learn a variation or two. This course is also for people who’ve never learnt a swingout, but have a solid grasp of the fundamentals of Lindy hop – this is the next step for you.
