A new way of Learning!
As of January 2023, all of our green level courses* will be taught with the 'ELEF' model:
Everybody leads, Everybody follows!
Why are we doing this?
No more waiting lists!
A common issue, particularly for follow dancers.
No need for a partner to join workshops!
Everyone gets an equal chance to join workshops.
No more imbalance in classes!
Everyone gets the chance to dance more often, without having to stand in a 'gap' in the circle.
More inclusivity & less reliance on outdated gender roles!
A more welcoming atmosphere for LGBTQ+ dancers.
Improved technique!
An understanding of both roles makes a person a better dancer.
More fun at social dances!
Being able to dance with everyone in the room, what could be more fun than that?
*Please note - at the moment, the ELEF model will only be applied to the green lindy hop courses, and the green balboa course.
The blue courses will continue with fixed roles*, and as new students join in later terms, the ELEF role will be expanded to higher levels.
*When taking the balboa blue course, it is possible to choose if you'd like to lead, follow or switch; simply inform the teachers before registering to help keep the class balance.
At this time, Lindyplus does not support a 'switch' option when registering, so you'll need to choose a role when registering onto the course, even if you intend to switch.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
