    • dance role,

  • Why 5-7 days? I do not have enough vacations
    To become better in a subject you have to do it a lot. It is said that you have to dedicate 10000 useful hours to master something Turbo c. We believe that a weekend is not enough for a noticeable improvement in your dancing knowledge. So Lindy Shock is a 5-7 day long event: in our opinion, this is the least amount of time one needs to totally focus on one’s dancing and improve. Also, you need this amount of time to forget about your regular life and fully get into the mood of the event. Lindy Shock might drain your vacation time, energy & purse, however will provide you unforgettable memories.

The only viable solution (we have found till now) is that we strictly control the crowd getting to the event.

    We would like to create the feeling of a university, so many times we use expressions you might meet at universities. Still, it is a regular dance event with classes and parties. However, most of us would argue the “regular’ and would use “special” 🙂
