Lindy Hop & Swing Dance Guided Practice

From 06:30 pm until 8:30 pm

At Veterans Memorial Building Upstairs Ballroom

1626 Willamette St, Eugene, OR 97401

Please join us as we launch a weekly dance! This is a casual swing dance with DJed music. Perfect for practicing what you are learning in class and catching up with your pals. There will be no intro lesson. Dance is from 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm BUT if attendance gets too slow we may end things early to get food! (Masking is encouraged but optional for all Track Town Swing events)
 
We're bringing back Wednesday night guided practice!
2nd and 4th Wednesdays, 6:30-8:30pm
 
The goal of Guided Practice is to provide time and studio space to help folks develop tools for a personal dance practice - different from a class (material and pacing provided by instructors) or a social dance (party time!)
You are encouraged to bring ideas for what you would like to work on, but if you don't quite know How To Practice, there will be an experienced facilitator to help you come up with some ideas.
You are also free to simply use this as open studio time.

Some weeks will have a light focus that you can choose to follow or not. This coming week the topic will be on Dancing Faster! Working on tempo can be daunting, so this will be time to focus on building up to quicker tempos in lindy hop, charleston, vernacular jazz and your other swing era dances like balboa and shag.
 
Admission: $5 at the door. 
 
Venue is Veterans Memorial Building Upstairs Dance Studio:1626 Willamette St, Eugene, OR 97401.

Dates are April 10th and 24. May 8th and  22nd. June 12th and 26th.
