| Contents: | Lindy Hop is a fun, energetic partner dance developed in New York City in the 1930s. It is danced to swing music. In this course, we will practice movements, rhythms, and the leading-following connection typical to Lindy Hop. Because it is an old and creative dance, there are lots of different types of elements to Lindy Hop, so in this first introduction the focus will be on starting to dance and enjoying it; going through all the types of Lindy Hop movements won’t be possible. Since Lindy Hop is a partner dance it is recommended (but not required) that you sign up in pairs. Your partner can be of the same or different sex as you; the main thing is that you agree which of you will practice as a follower and which as a leader in this course. We will rotate partners in the class, so signing up with a partner just means balancing the number of leaders and followers. In the following videos, you can get some idea of what Lindy Hop is like and see some of the movements we will practice during the course. (Note, the first video is a choreographed performance by professional dancers, and the second is improvised dancing in a competition setting. In this course, we will focus primarily on social dancing, which contains many of the same elements, but is often a bit simpler). https://youtu.be/cpAp64IYYVQ https://youtu.be/pGtjSt7u_20 |

The registration fee for the course is due before the first class. Please instruct your bank to forward payment orders through If you're only in Finland temporarily and are not able to pay by bank transfer, you may pay in cash at Soppi, the university shop next to the library. Regardless of how you pay, keep the receipt and give it to the instructor at the first meeting. Inform the University Sports Office if you are away from the first meeting. Once the registration is done, it is compulsory to participate in the course - but first when it is sure that there are minimun number of participants. If you cannot participate in the course, you need to cancel your registration in Korppi. Cancellation has to be done five (5) days before the course starts. After this the cancellation can be done in the University Sports office, with accepted certification (such as a medical certificate). The course fee has to be paid if there is no cancellation, or if the cancellation is done less than five days before the course starts and without the qualified certification. Please notice that if you cancel your registration from the exercise group after the valid period for cancellation has expired, it doesn’t cancel your registration from the actual course. |
