Making a comeback for 2022!
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 and Jennifer Fill on Monday nights at the UF Reitz Union Dance Studios for a FREE 1-hour Intermediate lesson each night followed by 45 minutes 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 | Intermediate Lindy Hop Lesson*
- 9:00 - 9:45 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.
*These lessons are intended for dancers who have been taking Lindy Hop lessons consistently for at least 1-3 months. You should be comfortable dancing the 6-Count Basic, in closed position and open position. At a minimum, you are comfortable with Jockeying, 6-Count Basic in Closed Position, Sendout, Outside Turn, Come Together, Inside Catch, Passby, and Inside Passby.
DM me on Messenger if you have any questions. Looking forward to dancing with you!
