Paying it forward…selfishly.
I started my lindy hop habit a number of years ago, when after attending Atomic ballroom a couple of times with what can be best described as “functional” east coast swing abilities I decided I should learn lindy hop and signed up for some classes. I took a beginning series and started social dancing once or twice a week. After the beginning series ended I took an intermediate series and upon its conclusion the instructor approached me about a team that he ran. The team met for a couple of hours once a week to learn and practice. They performed publicly from time to time, but the point of the team was to help beginning lindy hoppers progress their dancing.
To rotate or not to rotate
To rotate or not to rotate
- Classes are not evenly matched with leaders and followers.
- Many students come alone and would like to meet more than one person.
- Every partner "feels" different. Because partner dancing is based on lead and follow it's a good idea to develop a versatile connection.
- When you go to a dance you will know many partners because you will have danced with them before during class.
