Three tiers of Lindy Hop classes and a solo jazz workshop with the magical Jenny Thomas.

DUE TO TIME AVAILABILITY, PLEASE BOOK IN PAIRS (lead & follow) FOR LINDY CLASSES. Thank you (I may be able to help a little with this but cannot guarantee it)

 

Class 1. Improvers Lindy. 11.00 - 12.00

For dancers newer to the scene with some experience of 8 count footwork, swing out, circle etc but wishing to take this forward. Also a good refresher for more experienced dancers.

 

Class 2. Solo jazz. 12.15- 13.15

All levels can benefit from the wealth of knowledge and experience Jenny has in this field. Jazz steps and how they work with music is an essential part of any swing dance style.

These sessions are there to push and challenge dancers of both levels, not for the faint hearted.

During those years Jenny has travelled the world teaching Master Classes, sharing her extensive knowledge of dance technique and exposing countless people to her love and passion for the dance and continues to do so. To many in the swing dance community she is thought of as one of the “Teachers Teachers”.

During the last 10 years or more she has also coached, choreographed and performed on the top Prime Time TV shows of today…
