It's not just about telling people how to dance.
More than pressing a few buttons.
Takes more than a dance floor rental and a few speakers.
Isn't just about the steps.
It's not just about the teaching, DJing, organizing and dancing. It's about thinking ahead. Mentoring. Creating opportunities. It's about working together to build a great swing dancing community. It's about Leadership.
For the first time since our inaugural Lindy Leaders event, we're running a miniature version of our full Lindy Leaders event. We'll be focusing primarily on the two elements most in demand in the swing scene — DJing and teaching.
For this special (mini) Lindy Leaders, your mentors will be teachers and DJs from Ottawa's local Swing Dynamite dance school. Meet the Leaders.
First of all I have to say that the Lindy Leaders weekend was AMAZING! I learned so much. It was really great to hear people talk specifically about methods and theory behind teaching swing. I definately have a lot to think about and I will try my hardest to integrate all the inpirational things I learned into ALL my teaching. I seriously learned more about effective instruction at Lindy Leaders than I have in the last 2 months of my degree in education.
Congrats to Swing Dynamite for organizing this. Great idea. This will help the community. Keep up the good work!
Just wanted to give you some feedback from the weekend. It was a fabulous experience for me and I now have more appreciation for several aspects of the Swing dance scene - especially the DJing and musicality. Thank you to Dan Amores... you really helped this Swing dancer learn, grow and appreciate fine Blues music.
