Tina Lin
Dancer / JT Swing Team
Just leaving this out there because Bella Viramontes is seriously amazing... :D. Swungover Monday’s...if Bella is teaching a group class.... go to class + stay for the wine and late night social dancing :) getting kicked in the ass for an hour on footwork, drills, and technique was so much fun/ I swear every swing class needs at least a 15 minute footwork warm up <3. ...
some people have asked me why I LOVE Swungover Mondays and honestly......there's just so much to love it's pretty hard to just say there's one reason....Yes, joining JT Swing Teams definitely helped me, but Swungover Mondays is more than the JT Swing Team....
To me Swungover Mondays...it's a place where you can practice technique in a corner... (e.g. skater spins) and get cheered for... it's a place where critique is highly valued and encouraged...it's a place where sometimes the music is so random that you dance, experiment, and then the music just....subconsciously prepares you for jnj......it's a place where spotlight jnjs become normal..........but most importantly.... it's a place where it doesn't matter what level you are.... people WANT you as a dancer to succeed and be amazing...and will give you the confidence and technique you need to get there...... :) ... yeah just late night thoughts but seriously people :D Bella is amazing and if you're not from LA and ever in town GO TO SWUNGOVER MONDAYS. Oh and do take her group classes or privates from her because she will whoop your ass somehow someway to become better :)
