📋 Workshop Description
🕺 In this workshop, we’ll see that Charleston kicks aren’t just a side-by-side 8-count pattern reserved for “Charleston songs.”
✨ With the right transitions and body rhythm, you can smoothly integrate kicks into your dancing while keeping the flow and momentum going 💫
As we can observe in old clips like in the Harvest Moon Balls or Spirit Moves, dancers used to switch between Lindy Hop and "Charleston kicks" effortlessly - keeping the groove alive without overcomplicating transitions.
👉 We'll explore how to do just that: use Charleston not only as a separate block, but also as a natural extension of your Lindy.
👟💥 We’ll also share practical tips and variations to adapt your Lindy Hop for higher tempos, making moves easier to lead and follow on the social floor, without compromising style or musicality. 🎶
🛠️ You will learn:
✅ Smooth transitions between Lindy and Charleston
✅ Variations to spice up your Charleston 🔥
✅ Practical tips for dancing to faster tempos 🛠️
✅ How to stay leadable/followable on the social floor despite the speed🏃♀️
✅ How to stay connected with the music 🎶
🎉 Whether you're looking to energize your Lindy Hop or expand your Charleston vocabulary, this workshop will help you kick it up a notch — literally 😉
🤝 Registration for a single day (Saturday or Sunday) will only be possible if there are spots left.
👉 We prioritize couple registrations. If you register alone, you will be placed on the waiting list until a partner is found.
