Swingin' on the Ritz

Incredible beginners class this week with the team moving through at least three awesome tandem Charleston moves! We had the tandem into side-by-side tandem, to crossovers and even managed to get right up to the Suzy-Q's! You all looked great, and it's so good to see the class progressing so quickly through the tandem Charleston repertoire! Great work everyone!
Here's a video to remind you all of what we got up to: Beginners YouTube
The momentum didn't stop with our intermediates working hard on that 8-beat Lindy rhythm, and really drilling the core parts of the movement. Some great focus moves for the follows with an inside turn through the basic and also one of the coolest slow hook turns for variety. This is a tricky one to master, so it was amazing seeing our follows really working on keeping that turn nice and smooth!
Not only that, but the follows then spent some time working on swivel variations on the basic which is an even harder move to master, but makes those swingouts look so cool! Some great progress being made by all, and we can't wait to go even further next week!
Oh yeah, the video :) Intermediates YouTube
See you on Wednesday everyone!
