Thursday night classes 2012 (& Weds night from June)
Our Thursday nights at Southbank have the following format:
7-8pm Improvers (post-beginners) run as 4 week courses to really get the basics solid
8-9pm Intermediate, designed so you can attend as drop-in or sign up for 4 week course
9-10pm Beginner courses, and Shag drop-in classes
Around 50 minutes teaching in each class, then 5-10 minutes practice time. For level descriptions see here. All classes taught by David & Mithi unless stated otherwise.
MAY
3rd May 7pm Improvers 6 count
This 4 week course teaches lots of 6 count moves, and also has a strong focus on mastering basic technique.
£25/£20 for the course, advance booking required
3rd May 8pm FAST Lindy! drop-in or course
How do you dance to fast music? Here's how to dance lighter and easier, and make time slow down (sort of). We'll teach you some of the tricks and techniques, a few variations, and there'll be loads of practice time. You'll get most from these classes if you can do all 4 weeks, but you're also welcome to drop in on whichever ones you can. You need to know your basic 8 count and lindy charleston moves for these classes.
£25/£20 for the course, advance booking optional. Or drop-in £7/£5 concessions per class.
