“Musicality? What’s that all about? Find the 1? What are you saying? What’s AABA got to do with it – I thought we were dancing to Swing, not Mamma Mia? Wow, how did they get that break?! 4 bars, 6 count, 8 count, 32 bar structure….quit it with the numbers!”
How do Lindy Hoppers play with the music when dancing? How do you hear that a musical break is about to happen? Come to the Oxford Lindy Hoppers’ workshop on January 22nd 2012 and find out! We will be covering musicality and what this means for swing dancers. Using a mix of music theory and lots of practise, we will be unlocking the secrets of swing and helping you understand the structure and rhythm so that you can start to play with the music.
