Attention regulars: Some things have changed!

Lindy Hop is about creative self-expression, but it’s also about adapting to a song and your partner. So what do you do when the music gets really fast, or really slow, or something in the partnership throws you off? Welp. Join Lorne and Jill for six weeks of survival skills: techniques and ideas for handling challenging situations on the dance floor; ways to use the moves you know and love to transform tricky moments into nice ones; and lessons in sharing humor and joy with your partner—from whoopsie-daisy to adaptation and recovery!
