For the participants’ comfort and convenience and to optimize effects of classes – we limited the number of participants to 30 in each of three levels.
During the first edition of the Lindy Forge we’ll present to you an incredibly talented and inspiring couple of teachers from Buenos Aires – Maxi Prado and Agustina Zero.!
ITHE LOCATIONS OF PARTIES AND CLASSES WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON.
Lindy Forge with Maxi and Agustina is the first from the Swing Dance Forge series of events which core idea is to create an opportunity for Polish (but not only) dancers to learn and to get inspired by renowned international teachers. Swing Dance Forge project combines workshops of particular swing dance forms with working on a general quality and technique of movement.
Agus and Maxi started dancing serveral years ago sharing the same body language and their enormous passion for Jazz and dance.
Both trained in different disciplines dance a Lindy Hop characterized by smooth connection, sensitivity and fluidity.
At the same time they deeply identify with authentic music and vernacular movement though. As artists of improvisation they fuse and mix in all kind of styles into their swing dancing.
Their teaching is passionate and dedicated to innovation and research aiming to develop a dance accessible to everyone.
Maxi and Agus work as performers and teachers, holding classes, workshops and seminaries in Argentina and abroad.
Swing became the focus of their practice as dancers. They work hard to spread Lindy Hop taking it everywhere they go!
Certified GYROKINESIS teacher. Her journey as a dancer began with contemporary dance. Final-year student at the Dance Theatre Department. Three years ago she fell in love with dances from the 20. and 30 such as Lindy Hop, Charleston, Authentic Jazz, Shag and they have been her biggest passion ever since.
Through her knowledge of different movement techniques Krysia created a training dedicated especially to
Swing Dancers. She puts emphasis on combining freedom and precision in creating movements. The class encourages to explore links between body weight, gravity and breathing, showing how they influence the quality of movement. An important part of workshops she gives is also working on the conscious use of the body in space, using momentum, suspension and the flow of energy. The dynamic and fun exercises are improving motor memory, coordination and enhance physical ability strenghtening the body evenly along.
“My main goal is to remind people of just how good it feels to move. I perceive movement as a primar form of expression, which helps me to define and understand my own space, not only on stage, but also in a wider sense – in life. That is why I find it important to give people the opportunity to explore their body through improvisation.”
Lindy Forge Full Pass: 55 € (5h of workshops + parties)
