THIS WEEK AT

LINDY PROM is coming up on June 1st, and you -- yes, you! -- can be a part of putting it together!
Each year we're forming a prom committee, which decides on the theme of the party, as well as creates the decorations and the shenanigans that they want. Are you creative, full of ideas, and want to take part in this awesome yearly event? We'd love you to join us!
Email us at volunteer@wednesdaynighthop.com or talk to the MC at the dance.

Level 1 (8:15pm - 9:15pm)
w/ Hanah & Justin
6-Count Lindy Hop

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/ Lori & Philippe
Charleston

Add some pizzazz to your Charleston by kicking and double-kicking our way through "airplane" charleston, Hand-to-Hand moves, Hack-saws and Kick-Throughs.  We'll even make the magical mix of Charleston Swing-Outs to really get you flying through those swingin' beats!  This is a progressive 4-week class; show up on the first week to get maximum benefit.

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/ Doug & Kevin
Rhythm & Footwork Variations

What does it mean to be musical?  What does it mean to incorporate musicality into your own body?  And how can you do any of that while engaging and playing off your partner's ideas?  This lesson focuses on developing a responsiveness to music using unusual patterns and rhythms that will challenge your connection, balance, and ear for improvisational jazz.

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
Al & Leon Shim Sham (solo jazz)

We already know that it ain't what you do, so let's show you another way to do it!  Besides Frankie Manning, Al Minns and Leon James are two of our most famous and proliferate leads of swing.  Most of the clips we have of them shows the two working together in dance demonstrations to audiences around the nation.  One such clip features their rendition of the shim-sham, a line dance choreography that allowed each person or group to customize moves to their own aesthetic sensibilities.  Learn this smooth, rhythmic, and altogether fun routine so you can stand out on the dance floor!

PRE-REQUISITES: Having completed 4 months of Level 1. No partner required; just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes!
