Level 1 (8:15pm - 9:15pm)
w/ Taylor & Doug
6-Count Lindy
Start dancing from day one! We will get you moving in this month-long series that introduces you to basic footwork, turns, wraps, breaks and jazzy stylin'. Covers the 6-count basics, also sometimes known as East Coast Swing, also used in Lindy Hop.
PRE-REQUISITES: None. No partner required; just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes!
Level 2 (7:15pm - 8:15pm)
w/ Laura & Justin
Charleston Everywhere
Learn to move seamlessly between your Charleston and Lindy Hop, and get some more tricks while you're at it! When the tempos go up, you'll be able to kick up your dance into high energy with these transitions and kicks.
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/ Lori & Doug
Hello From The Other Side
If dance is a collaboration, do you know what your co-artist knows? This is intensive Level 1 curriculum highlighting where you might expect the experiences of leads and follows to diverge. Whether you become an ambi-dancer, or just want to sample the "other role", you will leave this class with a better appreciation of your partners and what you can make together.
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/ Cari & Hannah
Tranky Doo
"The dipsy doodle is the thing to beware
The dipsy doodle will get in your hair
And if it gets you, it couldn't be worse
The things you say will come out in reverse
Like 'You love I and me love you!'
That's the way the dipsy doodle works."
If you've ever heard this song and wished you could join the rush to do this wacky dance, now is the time! Join us as we break the Tranky Doo down, learn the technique behind the moves, and perform it every time the DJ plays it during the dance!
PRE-REQUISITES: Having completed 3 months of Level 1. No partner required; just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes!
Next Week: Town Hall Meeting
10: 00 - 10:30
Downstairs outside of Kohlstadt Hall (aka Balboa Room)
Organizing Wednesday Night Hop is a lot of work — but also a lot of fun! So if you want to contribute to our scene in any way, come to our Town Hall meeting where you can make your voice heard on how to make WNH even more awesome. Give feedback, hear what positions we need filled in, learn how you can help!
The meeting will be held outside of Kohlstadt Hall (Balboa room) at 10pm.
Keep it Swingin'! See you out on the dance floor!
