Sadly, we have just been informed that continuing health concerns mean Frankie will not be able to join us. We'll miss him terribly, and hope you'll come out to enjoy appearances and classes with Lennart and eWa.

In the fine tradition of the original Lindy Hoppers from the Savoy Ballroom, we offer classes in Charleston, Lindy Hop, aerials, and technique classes to help perfect and smooth your dancing.


FROM EIGHT WEEK WONDER TO RHYTHM HOT SHOT IN ONE EASY HOUR
This class is limited to members of Gottaswing's dance team, the Eight Week Wonders. In this masters class for dance routines, Lennart and eWa will offer critiques and tips for better performances and improved showmanship.

JAZZ ROUTINE
Get your feet moving! Have a great time working on a jazz routine that wlll familiarize you with a lot of the steps that will enhance your foot speed and styling.

SHOWSTOPPERS
Aerials, lifts, drops! Frankie created the first air step which he used to win a dance contest over Shorty George Snowden. We won't be doing anything death-defying, but you'll learn some fun moves that are easy to use.

STYLING AND SYNCOPATIONS
Learn some elegant and interesting syncopations and footwork variations you can use in everyday social dancing.

CHARLESTON
Remember Lindy Hop grows out of Charleston, and Frankie and Whitey's Lindy Hoppers used Charleston to bring energy and excitement to their performances. Watch closely for these moves in films like A Day at the Races and more.

LINDY FUNDAMENTALS/ROUTINE
Your eight-count Lindy Whip or Swing-Out is the foundation and basis of all your dancing. Learn the way Frankie structured his basic to create a powerful but smooth look that showed off his dance partners and infused audiences with admiration as you learn some of Frankie's classic moves.
