Tantalising Tandem

Hello everyone! Here's a quick summary of our classes every week at Clapham:

7:00pm - Total Beginners Swing Dancing Class - £8 for the hour!
You don't need to know ANY swing dancing, and you can come whenever you like, as we teach the basics every week as well as some fun things to do with it! For more details of classes, see below.

8:00pm-8:15pm - Practice time! - FREE
A chance to play with what you've learnt and ask any questions at all. Or, as a warm up before the intermediate class.

8:15pm - Intermediate Class - £8 for the hour, or half price if you did the 7:00pm class.
Each week we focus on a particular rhythm or dance concept and give you some more technique, more lead and follow, more dynamics, and more silliness! Check the descriptions below for more detail and any prior knowledge required.

Bring any friends down who you think might like it, we love to meet new people! Remember, we teach the basic steps every week...

Coming up Tuesday 16th March:

Beginners: We will start from scratch with our basic 1930's Tandem Charleston step, and after it is time to bring a little attitude and change our formation a little. Plenty of time to 'work it' and make it your own!

Intermediates: Transtions! Entries! Exits! Tandem is cool, but you gotta be able to get in and out of it eh? Well, here you are; a platter of fine moves that will have you tandem-ing in no time, and out before you can say "I like my Charleston from behind".

Coming up Tuesday 23rd March:

Beginners: **NEW RHYTHM!** We introduce Clapham to Lindy Hop! That's right, the heart and soul of swing is coming to the Two Brewers with 6-Beat Lindy Hop. This dance inspired so many other dance styles like Jive, Ceroc, Rock and Roll, West Coast Swing, Modern Jive, Boogie Woogie and the Swedish Bugg! Come and see what all the fuss is about... :-)

Beginner Plus & Intermediates: **NEW RHYTHM** BLUES TIME! Our chance to slow it down, take out all those crazy footwork patterns and learn the newest swing dance that's sweeping the world. Blues is cool, smooth, and perfect for 3am when you don't want to go to sleep. Whether you've been 'bluesing' for ages or this is your first time, you'll leave this class with a whole lot of cool things to dance, and a thirst for more of this addictive little number.

Coming up Tuesday 30th March:

Beginners: 6-Beat Lindy Hop with our funky triple steps is so smooth and fun, and we've got some cool ways to move around the floor and impress your partner! Of course, we teach the basics first up so no prior knowledge expected.

Intermediates: **Previous week or prior blues classes required!** We're going to take your blues to another level and give you some really sweet movements that make blues the amazing dance that it is. We'll push your connection, your body movement and also give you some musicality tidbits that will put the icing on your blues cake!
