The Ottawa Lindy Bomb - April 27-29th, 2007
Featuring Montreal's Natacha Beausoleil!
Come to Ottawa's biggest swing party yet! Swing Dynamite's looking to blow your mind yet again with a workshop with two of Canada's top swing teachers, and a dance with the TWENTY-strong cast of top jazz musicians, Big Band Caravane!
Want to push your Lindy Hop to the limit? This weekend has something for everyone:
- Saturday: All levels! Beginners are welcome. We'll examine the technique behind fundamental Lindy Hop and Charleston moves and then build on the foundation for some great social dancing movements!
- Saturday Night: Big Band Spring Gala! You just wanna dance? With a full big-band putting the spring in our steps, and some butt-kicking DJs to top it off, this will be a great swing party!
- Sunday: Intermediate/Advanced! If you had no trouble keeping up on Saturday, or if you're already very comfortable with Lindy Hop, we'll push you even further! We'll challenge your social Lindy Hop skills and help you discover new territory!
