For the Guys
Volunteer leaders get into the workshops for free! In order for our partnered classes to run successfully, we strive to recruit an even ratio of leads to follows. Register online as a volunteer leader and receive free entry into all of the solo classes as well.
Leaders must have a solid grasp of Lindy Hop basics, such as the swing out, circle, tuck turn, and side passes. Evening dances are not included in the workshop pass.
Optional: Following 101 for Guys
Learn to follow with a pro! In this class, Jaya Gamble will focus on technique and styling for all of you gentlemen who have always wanted to learn the other side of the swing out.
About Girl Jams
Giselle Anguizola created the original California Girl Jam in 2005 to give Lindy Hoppers an event where every class focuses on the follower; an event that highlights the individual talents of both past and present lady dancers. Since the California debut, Girl Jams have appeared in the Northwest, Rocky Mountains, Midwest, and even Australia, as well as a host of other follower-focused dance weekends striving toward the same or similar goals. We are excited to bring this fun, inspiring dance weekend back to the Northeast. See you in Rochester on Valentine’s Day!
