SwingColumbus is having a workshop on March 20th at the YWCA--all the information, including links to videos: http://www.swingcolumbus.com/events/workshops.php
YWCA
65 S 4th Street
Columbus OH
2:30 pm to 4:45 pm - Big Apple Routine
5:00 pm to 6:00 pm - California Routine
$15 for Adults ~ $5 off for Students & SwingColumbus Members

This will be an intermediate to advanced workshop. Be prepared to move pretty quickly through the choreography. There will be quite a bit of material to get through in three hours.

The Big Apple and California Routines are a major part of swing dancing history. Both dances were originally choreographed and performed by a group of the original swing dancers, Whitey's Lindy Hoppers. The Big Apple was featured in the 1939 movie, Keep Punching and the California that most of us perform today is a modification (we've taken out the aerials) of the last part of the Hellzapoppin' routine from the movie of the same name in 1941.

Team SwingColumbus performs both routines as combined piece with a section we call "The Ohio Bridge." You can see the combined piece HERE in a video of the team performing during halftime at an Ohio State men's basketball game. Many members of the team will be on hand to help teach the choreography. Come join us and learn a piece of your history. Don't forget to stick around for our Monthly Dance
