This will be a really fun workshop where you can walk away being able to dance with anyone! Six beat Lindy Hop is the universal rhythm that belongs to everyone. You can bump into a ballroomer at a wedding, go to a rock & roll dance or swing away at a swing dance event – once you’re comfortable with this rhythm, you can shine on any dance floor. The teachers will go over the basic rhythm at the start, then take you on a journey that includes great moves and important technical nuggets. Once we sprinkle some historical context on top … this is a must-attend workshop to get you dancing! 🙂

Anyone can attend this workshop as it’s new material no matter what level you are.

Book ahead and save! The price increases for tickets purchased on the day of the workshop.

YOUR TEACHERS
LEIGH RICHARDS is one of Brisbane’s (even Australia’s) most experienced follow teachers. An absolute powerhouse as a Lindy Hop and Balboa dancer (former Australian Balboa Champion!) but, more than anything, she is cherished for her fun and almost goofy classes. Leigh brings her infectious humour and wraps that up with her incredible technical dance knowledge.

KAHL SCHEMIONECK may be the only man who can frame a house and a perfect swingout in the same afternoon. By day, he’s a builder—measuring twice, cutting once. By night, he trades his tool belt for dance shoes and teaches swing like it’s a structural masterpiece. He believes everything in life can be fixed with either a hammer or better timing—and honestly, he’s not wrong. Miss a step? That’s just a “renovation opportunity.” Bad posture? “We’ll shore up those foundations.” Can’t find the beat? He’ll probably try to measure it. Students love him for his patience, and the way he says things like, “Let’s build this move from the ground up,” as if you’re about to pour concrete instead of do a swingout.
