Edinbop is delighted to host an improver/intermediate level lindy hop workshop with Gina Helfrich and Mike Roberts (US).
Gina and Mike have been swing dancing since the late 90s. In that time, they have both taught Lindy Hop around the globe, run dance schools, won major dance competitions such as ILHC, and performed internationally.
Gina and Mike were fortunate to have learned directly from some of the originators of the Lindy Hop before they passed, including Frankie Manning, Norma Miller, and Dawn Hampton, and they seek to keep the spirit of that original tradition alive by passing on what they learned. Gina and Mike have a connected, fun, and highly creative style that engages students of all levels. They strive to empower students to lead and follow socially with comfort and confidence, and they approach the classroom with both good humour and awesome jokes.
Originally from Texas, Gina and Mike now live in Edinburgh, Scotland, and we are excited to have them teach for Edinbop for the first time.
In the evening, we will also have a social, in the form of the first edition of SOUTHSIDE STOMP, Edinbop's new monthly social, at the Greyfriars Charteris Centre! Suggested donation is £5, payment via honesty box at the door. https://fb.me/e/2xZ5o0JDs
