Live Music w/ Solomon Douglas' Quartet
Yes, you read it right -- two great bands back to back! But Solomon was in town and we jumped on this opportunity. Can we handle two weeks of dancing to exciting swing music? We think we can! |
April Series BeginSeries registration is now closed but you're welcome to drop in! |

Level 1 (8:15pm - 9:15pm) (Note: we have added a second 8-count Lindy Hop class series to our level 1 curriculum.) When you really want to dig that swing beat, there’s nothing like 8-count Lindy Hop! We will start with the basics, from zero dance experience on up, and get you swinging around the dance floor in no time! This is a progressive 4-week class; show up on the first week to get maximum benefit. PRE-REQUISITES: None. No partner required; just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes! |

Level 2 (7:15pm - 8:15pm) When the worlds of 8- and 6-count swing collide, amazing dancing results! Join us in learning some of the classic and awesome 6/8 count moves you see on the dance floor. You might think we'll be baking, with moves that include words like "roll" and "sugar", and you won't be far off as we explore the recipe for mixing them into more texture-rich dancing! 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) Fasten your seatbelts, and prepare to hit the track: charleston shines when in its native element...the raceway. This series focuses on advanced charleston technique, allowing clear and efficient leading and following at fast tempos, giving you the skills (and figures) to evolve your social dance game. These techniques apply to standard-tempos as well, so this class is for you if you're looking to speed things up, or looking to enhance your general charleston understanding! 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) Originating in the Balboa Peninsula of Orange County, Balboa combines intricate footwork with smooth body movement, to create a dynamic and fast-paced dance that is fun to watch but even more fun to do! Great for beginners or if you have taken Balboa Fundamentals. This class will add on basic vocabulary to your Pure Bal and Bal-Swing foundations. PRE-REQUISITES: 3 months of Level 1 and/or Balboa Fundamentals. No partner required; just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes! |

April 27: Spring Festival & Clothing Swap
Ah, the warmth of spring, the blue skies, the blooming flowers filling the air with their fragrance! (We might be blessed with that in California year round, but you get the idea ;)) Come and celebrate the change of the seasons with us by playing some good ol' lawn games, and, of course, winning prizes. Dress to the theme and adorn the dance floor with all the colors of spring! 
It's that itch that we humans get with an offset of spring, the itch of getting rid of the old, and starting something new... the Spring Cleaning! And what can better take care of that itch than our beloved Clothing Swap. You know the drill: bring over your NEW or SLIGHTLY USED and CLEAN clothing, shoes, or accessories you no longer want. 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. |
