TLH is super excited to be bringing the incomparable Brittany and Dargoff to Toronto for a whole weekend of Lindyworks workshops September 6-8th!
We know that having an even number of leads and follows in class makes for an awesome workshop, and in order to have that happen, we’ve put registration for followers on hold and opened a wait list for follows until a few more leads sign up. So leads, please register soon! Follows, if you would like to be on the wait list drop us a line at workshops@torontolindyhop.ca. We are registering follows as leaders register.
Head on over the Swingtix now to register!
We realize that Seattle (where they are from) is far away and you may not have had the opportunity to meet or dance with Brittany and Dargoff, so we’ve compiled a list of our top reasons we’re excited to have them in town. In no particular order:
1. They have a unique combination of solid technique and creative movement that Toronto has not seen before.

2. They will be teaching classes that will improve your partner dancing and your solo dancing, while learning some “Britgoff Original Moves” along the way. This is a great opportunity to develop your technique so your creativity can shine through.
3. Brittany’s swivels are a marvel of the modern Lindy Hop world.
