Take your Lindy Hop to new heights (literally!) in this exciting aerials workshop designed specifically for beginner aerialists. Air steps have been thrilling swing dance crowds ever since Frankie Manning and Frieda Washington stunned the Savoy Ballroom with the very first Lindy Hop air step back in 1935. Since then, these dynamic and gravity-defying moves have become a hallmark of performances, competitions, and late-night jam circles around the world.
In this workshop, you’ll learn fun, achievable aerials with a strong focus on safe and effective technique. Perfect for dancers looking to add a touch of show-stopping flair to their repertoire.
Sarah and Evan are two of Australia’s most celebrated swing dancers and most experienced Lindy Hop instructors. Known for their dynamic style, precise technique, and infectious energy, Sarah & Evan are the ideal guides to help you safely and confidently explore the thrilling world of Lindy Hop air steps. Whether it’s your first time attempting a lift or you’re ready to refine your technique, you’ll be in expert hands.
This workshop is suitable for swing dancers with knowledge of the fundamentals of swing dancing - it will be helpful to know how to do a 6-count basic, 8-beat swing out and Jockey (side by side) Charleston.
