Participation.
Basic
proficiency in Lindy Hop and/or Balboa is helpful. No matter what your current
proficiency level the desire to develop, and the ability to improve as a
Lindy Hop and Balboa swing dancer is key.

Coordinator on the acceptance of individuals as a performance group member; and on
the participation of individual members in any performance group rehearsal, activity
or event.

Mission:
The mission of the Hepcats performance groups is to elevate the level of swing dancing and public awareness in the
Lexington/central Kentucky area about swing dancing by providing a creative,
fun and safe outlet for those swing dancers that want to participate in a
performance group, and take their swing dancing to the "next level". |
|
|
|
Mike & Mary's Vision for these
performance groups: |
|
We want these performance groups to become an enriching part of the Lexington/central Kentucky
community, and also provide a creative outlet for individual dancers
interested in pursuing swing dance more deeply and intensively.
Participation in performance group activities will help swing dancers develop not
only individually, but also as a group. These performance groups will require
commitment from its member, but will also provide a place for those who can
only dedicate time or energy in a limited way. |
|
|
|
Goals and Objectives: |
|
● weekly, regular rehearsals
(in the spring and fall); other rehearsals as
required. |
|
● performances as opportunities arise |
|
● development of Lexington/central KY
area swing dancers individually and as a group |
|
● participation as a performance group in
local, regional and national swing dance events |
|
|
|
Style:
As a member of these performance groups, we’ll all learn some really cool steps,
patterns and moves.
Each performance group will emphasize their authentic style of swing dance.
While we want to develop a uniform team “look”, individuals are encouraged
to develop their own unique style and dancing personality within that
authentic style. |
|
|
|
Personal
Improvement:
Team members are strongly encouraged to continue working on improving their
dance skills outside of the performance group. Sign up for
classes, attend workshops, practice, go
to
Hepcats swing dances, become a “student” of the
teaching, learning and evaluating process for Lindy Hop and Balboa, etc.
Team members are
encouraged to participate in Jam Circles at swing dances they attend.
In addition, team members are also encouraged to participate in local,
regional, and national competitions as individual dancers, i.e. Jack & Jill,
Jill & Jack, Couples Contest, etc. The performance groups plan on competing in
local and regional team competitions; and as a long term goal, in a national competition. |
