Online Lindy Hop Dance Lessons: "Masters of Musicality part 1"

Andrew Sutton (Sacramento, CA, United States)

For the past 2 years, I have been blessed with the opportunity to tour and teach the Lindy Hop across the USA and Europe. I have a true passion for teaching dance and I hope to be able to share it with all of you some day. My Classes focus on 5 fundamental concepts, all of which I feel are equally important: Connection Body Awareness/Quality of movement Musicality Creativity and Inspiration "Andrew was really a catalyst for the Central Pennsylvania Swing Dance Club (CPSDC). He breathed life into our long-time dancers, inspired our newcomers, and made our scene fun by adding a playful and gaming nature. His passion for teaching and his excellent sense of humor left our dancers talking about his workshops nearly a year later - and constantly inquiring about when he'd be returning. His classes were well-structured and unique in nature - the content was outstanding! Most importantly, Andrew's down-to-earth nature makes him a stand-out instructor. While in our area, he danced with first-timers and old jitterbugs as well as our skilled lindy hoppers - his non-discriminating eye made everyone feel included in the learning and excitement. Andrew is by far the greatest thing that has happened to CPSDC and we can't wait to have him back." Amanda Hansen, PR Director, CPSDC, Carlisle, PA

Laura Glaess (Austin, TX, United States)

Laura learned her dancing basics from a group of Lindy enthusiasts while at Trinity University in San Antonio. Since then she has been heavily involved in efforts to promote this style of dance to the community. For the past three years she has been teaching Lindy dance lessons. "The most important aspect of dancing to me," Laura says "is the ability to reach out for your partner and let them know everything that is going on inside of you and making sure that you pick up on everything that is going on inside of him. It's like the best conversation you've ever had."
