We are ECSTATIC to announce our Autumn Welsh Weekender 2024- a weekend of inspiring teaching and dancing with the incredible Skye Humphries and Frida Segerdahl.
Skye and Frida have been bringing their playful energy and infectious joy to dancefloors across the world since the early 2000s and we cannot wait to spend the weekend learning from these two as we bring them to Wales this Autumn!
Perfect for dancers who want to kick their Lindy up a notch, this is a great opportunity to learn from this experienced dancing duo who love to share their passion for the history of jazz.
PLUS we’ll keep the party going with our Saturday Night Dance (Band TBC) and our Sunday Tea Dance. All in the beautiful, Dinas Powys Parish Hall with its half sprung floor, just 20 minutes from the centre of the Welsh Capital.
The Weekend
Saturday 7th September: 4hrs Lindy Hop Workshops + 1hr Solo Jazz Workshop
Saturday Night: Live Band + Evening Dance
Sunday 8th September: 1hr Solo Jazz Workshop + 4hrs Lindy Hop Workshops
Sunday Late Afternoon: Farewell Tea Dance
Workshop Level Description: It will be assumed that all attendees are comfortable social dancing 6 count, 8 count and Charleston ideas to a range of tempos (not suitable for newer dancers). You have probably been dancing for a couple of years and have a broad vocabulary that includes classic steps like Swings outs, Texas Tommys and Back Charleston. You are comfortable throwing in variations without compromising on your ability to lead and follow.
You are ready to work hard, examine the way you do things and want to deepen your understanding of technique as well as individual expression in your dancing. You prioritise rhythm, connection to the music and your partner and quality of movement in your dancing over learning moves. You are comfortable with solo routines like the Shim Sham or Jitterbug Stroll and want to explore your solo movement more.
