Description

A great opportunity to work with one of Australia’s leading Lindy Hoppers, Leigh Richards, who is teaming up with Scott Cupit for a high level workshop immersed in history, technical nuggets and some great dancing. Leigh and Scottie have taught a weekly class and at festivals together for the last four years and you can tell they are great pals. Their classes always have laughter and a passion for this dance and history nuggets are always part of every session.  Take a chance and get involved!

This special workshop is all about 8-count Lindy Hop—the rhythm and movement that gives the dance its unmistakable feel.

This is for those that can already swing out and keen to move to the next level. Along the way, we’ll focus on great technique, musicality, and the confidence to use what you’ve learned on the social dance floor.

As always, Leigh & Scottie will sprinkle in stories from Lindy Hop’s rich history, along with plenty of laughs and their relaxed, encouraging teaching style.

A great way to enjoy the Christmas break all inspired and with new concepts to take into the new year.
