Want to learn how to dance to vintage jazz? March Progressive Classes are now open for enrollment!

More info and Tickets: https://austinswingsyndicate.org/thursday-lessons/
You can see what Balboa, Lindy Hop and Collegiate Shag dances look like in our Instagram story highlights at https://www.instagram.com/atxswingsyndicate
~
✨We also offer Taster (drop-in, non-progressive) classes in Blues, the Shim Sham, Solo Jazz and 6-count swing on different weeks of the month. You can purchase tickets for these at the door.
✨ 8:15PM FREE Intro to Swing Class
**Bringing a partner is totally optional
**Dances are done to vintage jazz from the 1930s and 40s
**Footwear: The best option for a beginner class are the shoes that make your feet comfortable! On the lower end you could do something like a knockoff Ked from Target (could stick on suede material from Amazon later to make them slide better) or if you have some comfortable leather bottomed ankle boots those will slide nicely.

Switch Dancing Workshop - Part 1: Crash course on the opposite role!
Switch Dancing Workshop - Part 1: Crash course on the opposite role!
May 4, 2024 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Shirley McPhail School of Dance (SMSD)
Event: https://facebook.com/events/s/switch-dancing-workshop-part-1/3411116252512087/
We've got SMSD booked for 2 hours, so lets have a workshop!
This is going to be part 1 of a few workshops centered around dancing the opposite role and switch dancing.
I would like to have these workshops on a regular basis, so first we're going to start by giving a crash course on following-for-leads and leading-for-follows, that way in future workshops we have more options!
This one will focus on explaining some mechanics each role needs to know to jumpstart dancing as the other role. If you can, please take the 8:15 intro lesson as your less-dominate role before this workshop to at least have the basic footwork down for both roles 🙂
Let me (Lon) know if you have questions!
I'm open to ideas, I hope this is the first of many workshops! Invite people!

3 Special Swing Dancing Workshops at The Fed
3 Special Swing Dancing Workshops at The Fed
May 30, 2024 7:30 am - 8:30 am
2312 San Gabriel St, Austin, TX, United States, Texas 78705
Event: fb://event/967791388070498
We have THREE exciting workshops taking place on May 30th before the Waller Creek Vipers plays LIVE! Join us to learn and have fun!
Details: 7:30 to 9:00 | $25
Bal-Shag-Lindy Taster!
Teachers: Amanda & Matt
Pre-requisite: None
Dip your toes into the dance styles we teach here at The Syndicate in this Taster Workshop, you will learn the basics of Balboa, Collegiate Shag, and Lindy Hop in 30 minutes segments! This is the perfect opportunity to expand your Swing repertoire and decide what series classes you want to sign up for in June!
Solo Chorus Line Routine!
Teacher: Tabitha
Pre-requisite: None
Work on your solo movement while learning a fun and easy Chorus Line Routine with the Capitol City Chorus Girls! Love it? Learn more about joining this unique performance group located right here in Austin!
(Re)Approaching Lindy Hop Fundamentals and Dynamics of Connection
Teachers: Kari & Thomas
Prerequisite: At least one class of Lindy Foundations
It's easy to fall into the trap of learning move after move, but to really shine on the social dance floor, mastering the fundamentals are key. In this all levels workshop, we'll approach leading and following from the ground up, answering questions like "How is information transferred mechanically from partner to partner?", "What really is connection?", and "Is Lindy Hop 6-count dance, 8-count dance, or something else entirely?". Whether you're a seasoned dancer looking to think more deeply about your partnered dancing or a newcomer eager to learn without the need for predetermined moves, this workshop offers an opportunity for (re-)approaching the fundamentals and dynamics of Lindy Hop connection.
