I'm a lindy hop dancer and organizer of a dance community!
Everyday, when I get up I'm again surprised how strong the dancing is connected with the real life,....cause it is my real life! :-)
For me the lindy hop and all the culture around the dance changed my life completely.
As a dancer you travel around a lot to dance, work and connect with people.
In my workshop I will present the dance and the philosophy behind. I could talk hours and hours about that, but lets do this together in April...so here only a few words that move me in the context of the workshop, that will be a mix of dancing and talking:
- living as a dancer
- music, rhythm and dance to swing music
- improvisation and expression as one of the most important skills in the dance
- communication with yourself, your partner and the music
- connection physically and mentally
My motto: "Ouh Yeah!"
