We at the Mobtown Ballroom have mourned the fact that tempos in the Lindy Hop scene have skewed towards the middle since the pandemic. In June we threw a whole weekend focused on slow dancing, so, on Tuesday August 25th, Kyra and Michael will teach a fast Lindy Hop workshop.

Their goal for this session is to help high intermediate and advanced students skip the progressive ramp up and work immediately on dancing to the top tempos for Lindy Hop--to the kind of music that really warrants a jam. The first hour of the class will focus on getting your basics in line for these speeds, the second on adapting material you already know for faster music.

This workshop aims for results rather than eternal class-taking. We want you to be significantly more confident by the end, which means that you’re going to work. We recommend that you wear comfortable clothes, bring a water bottle, and wear your normal dance shoes but maybe bring a spare set with a little grip just in case. Prepare to suffer for art. 

Registration will be limited, because we’d like to be able to provide individual attention. $30/person. If you’re unclear on whether you’re ready for this class, feel free to reach out to Michael at michael@mobtownballroom.com or pester him at a dance.

6:30: Doors open, warm up, stretching, get pumped, existential dread.
7:00: Basics. Fast basics.
7:50 Temporary reprieve from suffering.
8:00: How to lead and follow the shit you already know, but fast. Maybe some complimentary flash and trash.
9:00: Workshop over. Question time. Talk about your feelings.
9:30: Go home. Or go to a bar. 

TICKETS GO ON SALE RIGHT HERE 6:30PM ON AUGUST 4TH!
