Workshop with Frankie
Manning
Frankie will teach two exciting Lindy Hop routines per day,
incorporating fun and classic Lindy Hop steps, one routine
on Saturday and a different one on Sunday.
A wonderful opportunity to learn from the master himself,
taking a class with Frankie Manning is not only a learning
experience, but an inspiration for a lifetime.
Frankie Manning will be joined by Catrine Ljunggren, a founding
member of the "Rhythm Hot Shots".
Open to all levels, but some swing dancing experience is
recommended. (We recommend beginning dancers to also take
the Intro to Lindy Hop classes offered each day at 10:00 am)
