Description: This workshop is especially designed for Lindy Hoppers looking to practise their basic groove and rhythm. We will focus on developing the quality of our own personal movement, ensuring we have a strong foundation to bring into our partner dancing.

Through a variety of dynamic exercises we will work on grooving to various songs, practise the 8-count basic rhythm to different tempos and engage our whole body while dancing.
The workshop is a solo workshop, which means you will be dancing without a partner. The workshop is for both leaders and followers. 

Level: This is an open level workshop. So whether you are still quite new to Lindy Hop or you are an experienced dancer, this workshop is a great opportunity for you to revisit the basics and give them some love and care.
