What do you get when you cross mad, dedicated Lindy Hoppers with a break neck speed Breakaway class?  Well, the results are obvious!  Apologies to everyone in the scene that enjoyed dancing with these wonderful people…we killed them. All jokes aside Jojo and I were extremely happy with how everone did in the second Breakaway...

It was opening night for the new Swing It! Mt Lawley school and we had a fantastic, fun group to welcome it in.  Sharon introduced us all to some interesting rhythm ideas (“Shane loves Lindy Hop, yes he does”?) whilst Shane concentrated on the importance of pecs in leading.  I’m also considering offering prizes to...

Ruth and I had a sensational night this week at Subiaco.  The energy was high and we had an absolute blast watching the Lindy 2s busting out their Jazz moves at fast speeds!  It was also great to see old friends Alex and Jenny getting back into the Lindy groove after some time away.  And...

Due to popular demand (no really…it’s actually been popularly demanded) Jojo and I will be continuing on with the Breakaway Specialty class!  Everyone came so, SO close to absolutely nailing the Breakaway and it’s my understanding that many of you would like another chance at it.  So with that in mind, and with the intention...

Another Monday night of mayhem and madness…well, not so much mayhem but certainly some madness. It was valley of the men as we kicked off into Lindy 2.  Where did all the follows go?  Are you allergic to good looking, talented leads?  Is that it?  Hmmm.  As it was we had the guys experiencing some...

Another great night of Swing as we also stepped even further back in time with the specialty Breakaway class! Lindy 1 Week 2 of Beginners saw the inclusion of a whole new rhythm and a whole new move.  We were really impressed with how well you guys picked up the Lindy Circle.  This means we’re...

It was graduation night for Subiaco’s first Introductory Course and whilst the hats didn’t fly the dancing certainly amped up as the Subiaco Stomp welcomed its first injection of new Lindy Hoppers! Lindy 1 Final night of the course and it was an evening of Swing Out tweaks and fine tuning. We managed to get...

This Wednesday Swing It! will be offering a specialty class focusing on the Breakaway. In its early stages of development the Lindy Hop was referred to as the “Breakaway”, this was due to the fact that couples were now breaking away from each other rather than remaining in closed as they had been doing in...

We changed gears on several occasions tonight with some new beginners, a slow styling class and then some action packed partner Charleston! Lindy 1 Welcome to all of the new beginners! We kicked off another Introductory Course with some energetic and enthusiastic students. We hope you all had a fun time as you took your...

This Wednesday night at 9.00pm Swing It! will be offering an open specialty class on partner Charleston! As you may know the 20s Charleston was the precursor to Lindy Hop; back in the day the Charleston was done both solo and as a partner dance. Recently Swing It! has been lucky enough to have Jojo...
