8:00 - 9:00 pm Lindy Hop Rhythm & Variations Lesson
9:00 - 10:00 pm Open Practice
Ready to level up your Lindy Hop from 6-count to 8-count? If you've taken at least 1-3 Lindy Hop lessons, then this lesson series is the one for you!! We'll explore basic 8-count moves, discuss the difference between 6-count and 8-count, and culminate with Lindy Hop's most iconic move: the swingout.
Hi there. My name is Chris Ortega. When I went to my first swing dance 3 years ago here in Gainesville, I instantly fell in love with Lindy Hop and swing dancing, and I want to share this awesome dance style with you!!
Join me Monday nights at the UF Reitz Union Dance Studios for a FREE 1-hour lesson each night followed by 1 hour of open practice. Here's the lowdown:
PRICE: Absolutely FREE
WHERE: UF Reitz Union Dance Studios, located in the Lower Level (i.e. basement) of the UF Reitz Union
WHEN:
- 8:00 - 9:00 pm | 8-Count Lindy Hop Lesson
- 9:00 - 10:00 pm | Open Practice
PARKING: Parking is free at the Reitz Union Parking Garage after 4:30 pm. For most other parking lots at UF, parking decal restrictions lift after 5:30 pm. I recommend coming 15 minutes early if it's your first time coming to the Reitz Union at UF, to allow for enough time to find the garage and the dance studios.
WHO ARE THESE LESSONS FOR?
All members of the Gainesville community are welcome, this includes UF students and non-students alike! No dance partner is necessary, we will rotate partners frequently throughout the lesson.
Each lesson will cover 8-count Lindy Hop fundamentals and moves. There is no formal placement test for these lessons, but I would recommend these lessons for someone who has taken at least 3 Lindy Hop lessons, 1 lesson at a minimum. Feel free to message me if you have any questions regarding this.
DM me on Messenger if you have any questions. Looking forward to swing dancing with you
