Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Part of Ninjammerz? Who are the Ninjammerz?
The Ninjammerz are the premier Lindy Hop troupe in the world today. They are widely considered to be, either individually or together, the very best in the world.
The five, core members of the Ninjammerz are:
Thomas Blacharz
Dax Hock
Alice Mei
Max Pitruzella
Annie Trudeau
Q: What makes the Tommy, Alice and the Ninjammerz so special?
The Ninjammerz have taken the Lindy Hop scene by storm. They win awards, trophies and prizes at every competition that they go to. What makes them special is their awesome style, full of passion and that crazy energy which has not been seen since Frankie Manning’s limelight days. Their unique and innovative choreography has also earned them a spot in Lindy Hop history. They are, in a word, “Badass!”
In addition to the competition scene, they are widely respected as some of the best social dancers and best instructors in the world. What is wonderful about the Ninjammerz is that they selflessly share the mechanics behind what they do. They know exactly HOW they do something and can teach it to you! We are not saying that you will become Ninjaz in 2 days, but you will be that much further on your way to freeing yourself so that you can dance efficiently, to the music, in your own way.
Tommy and Alice, in particular, are know for their humorous and friendly style of teaching and dancing. Combined with stunning technique and ingenious creativity, they continue to be two of the most sought-after instructors/performers in the swing world. They are absolutely inspiring to watch and dance with!
Q: What kind of dancing will be taught at these classes?
Lindy Hop and other Jazz dances (Charleston, etc).
Q: I’m a Total Beginner. Can I Join the Workshops?
You will get the most out of the New Year workshop if you are an intermediate Lindy Hop dancer or an advanced dancer of another genre (ex. Salsa). But you’re welcome to join no matter what your dance level or experience. You know your own limits.
If you’ve been dancing swing for less than 6 months, we suggest that you take some of our classes before attending the workshops. Even if you have been dancing for a while, we strongly suggest that you take a class with us or a private lesson before attending this workshop.
Group Lesson – 12/2 (Thu), 12/16 (Thu), 12/21 (Tue), 1/6 (Thu)
Beginner’s Intensive Lesson – 12/4(Sat), 12/18 (Sat), 1/8 (Sat)
Q: What Are Classes like?
You’ll be immersed in an energetic and intense learning environment. You’ll laugh. You will learn a lot of new concepts and be inspired. You’ll sweat. And by the end of the day, you’ll be dancing better and enjoying yourself more on the social dance floor.
Q: Do I Need to Bring A Partner?
There is no need to bring a partner. During classes, partners will rotate. At the evening dance, everyone dances together. Come with a group of friends, or come by yourself!
Q: What Should I Wear?
For the workshop, wear loose comfortable clothing or gym wear. Expect to sweat! Also bring an extra t-shirt, towel, and bottle of water. For shoes, we recommend sneakers with smooth soles, dance sneakers, or swing dance shoes.
For the Dances: Although there is not a specific dress code, dancers come dressed in a variety of styles from Vintage to modern. In general, you can dress to impress!
