Level 1 (8:15pm - 9:15pm)
w/ Sam & Calvin
Charleston
Come out and kick your way through Charleston! Once a separate dance born of the Roaring 20's, these high-energy moves became an integral part of the Lindy Hop dance floor and are frequently danced together in a single song. This is the best way to get your heart-rate up and your feet moving to the fastest tunes available!
PRE-REQUISITES: None. No partner required; just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes!
Level 2 (7:15pm - 8:15pm)
w/ Elise & 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/ Lori & Gilles
Oh! The Places You'll Go!
It's not what you do, it's the way that you do it. It's not where you're going, it's how you get there. We'll find ourselves in surprising places by cleaning up our connective technique but leaving room for variation and experimentation.
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/ Brynna & Hannah
Trickeration
Not just a jazz move, the "Trickeration" solo jazz routine is rhythmically challenging and exciting. Norma Miller used it to audition candidates for her professional jazz troupe, the Jazz Men, and separate the wheat from the chaff. Come learn a routine that will inspire your musical understanding and quality of movement.
PRE-REQUISITES: Basic solo jazz (like the shim-sham).
August 2: Live Music w/
Nirav Sanghani's Pacific Six
A new band is in town, and they come to play -- for us! Please welcome Nirav Sanghani's Pacific Six, who play tight arrangements of early jazz and swing tunes. With a band led by a lindy hopper we can rest assured that our socks will get properly danced off! Let's give them a warm welcome!
Keep it Swingin'! See you out on the dance floor!
