50/50
Do the Lindy Hop.
Overview
In Harlem in the '20s and '30s, everyone was doing a brand new dance — and no, it wasn't the locomotion. Usually performed to big band music and known for being acrobatic, it was the Lindy Hop, which fused parts of jazz, tap, breakaway and the Charleston.
If you've seen the music video to the Elvis Presley vs. JXL remix of 'A Little Less Conversation' from back in 2002, then you've seen it in action — now, you can try it for yourself. With Singapore artist Loo Zihan and his collaborators taking up the dance style over a decade ago, they're hosting an Australian-first, Brisbane-exclusive participatory performance class. 50/50 isn't just a way to learn new moves, though — it's an exploration of authenticity, identity, sexuality and culture.
