Gift Swap
Did you receive nice things you don’t care for during the holidays? Do you have items you no longer like around the house, and would like to find a good home for them? Bring them to our post-holiday gift swap. Then take a look at what other people brought, find something that makes your heart skip a beat, and take it home!
Please be sure the items are small enough for others to carry home with them. Also, the gifts should be FAMILY-FRIENDLY, as well as in NEW or SLIGHTLY USED and CLEAN condition.
We’ll have a corner where you can put / hang your things and look at stuff that other people brought. If you like something, it’s yours! At the end of the night, don’t forget to pick up your items that weren’t claimed by anyone, as everything that is left behind will be donated.
Everyone is welcome to participate! We usually have more things brought than taken, so by all means, stop by and take a look!
January Series Continue
Series registration is over but you're welcome to drop-in to any of our classes.
Level 1 (8:15pm - 9:15pm)
w/ Lori & Doug
More Than a Swingout
Hop on the fast track to amazing swingouts! Journey through the 8-count world on the road to Lindy Hop. You'll learn some cool ways to move your feet to the rhythm, as well as some some flashy figures. But best of all, you'll gain more confidence with a widening swing repertoire, paving the way to even more fun with your partner!
Pre-requisites: None. No partner required; just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes!
Level 2 (7:15pm - 8:15pm)
w/ Lori & Doug
Zen-count Basic
Did you know that 8-count moves could become 6-count moves and vice versa? Did you know you could mix 8-count and 6-count moves with impunity? Learn how to lead and follow the difference, and what to do when it all changes!
Pre-requisites: Level 1A-D; twice through recommended. Execute a swingout, lindy circle, charleston and 6-count moves and transition between them in open and closed positions. No partner required, just bring your enthusiasm!
Level 3 (7:15pm - 8:15pm)
w/ Yulia & Misha
Quality of Movement
Becoming a better dancer: quality of movement. How to use stretch, rhythm, balance in Lindy Hop and make your body move better.
Pre-requisites: At least nine consecutive months of Level 1 and Level 2 including one full year of social dance, or discuss your eligibility with instructors. Under-qualified students will be asked to transfer to Level 2 in order to strengthen their fundamentals.
Elective (8:15pm - 9:15pm)
w/ Hannah & Brynna
Solo Jazz Basics
Balance, rhythm, shapes, and technique! Solo jazz is a great way to groove with your friends in circle, entertain yourself to the max without a partner, and even incorporate into your social dance variations for extra flair. Learn the skills necessary to jam it out wherever you are, whoever you are with!
Pre-requisites: None. No partner required; just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes!
February 2: Rob Reich Swings Left
oin us for a fun night of dancing with Rob Reich’s “Swings Left”!
Rob Reich’s “Swings Left” plays swing music for dancers. Inspired by the Benny Goodman groups of the late 1930s with electric guitarist Charlie Christian, “Swings Left” takes off from there, featuring classic arrangements made popular by Goodman, Ellington, Basie and others. Their swinging sound combines hot rhythm with a cool sensibility.
Lindy Hop is happiness in its purest form... therefore a gift certificate to learn it is the perfect gift for any occasion!
Keep it Swingin'! See you out on the dance floor!
Gilles, Lori, Tamara, Doug, Sophie, Patricia, Kye
