Swing Out: Focus on Footwork Styling

The mother move of Lindy hop, the swing out! When you add cool footwork and breaks to counts 7,8,1, and 2, the swingout becomes a lean mean awesome machine. Whether you’re a lead or follow, learn the secrets to connecting well with your partner while doing fun footwork, and expand your swingout repertoire to be more musical with your dancing!

PRE-REQUISITES: Level 1A-C; 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/ Carla & Philippe
Sweet & Slow: A Sugary Lindy Topping

The holiday season is upon us, which means the radios, department stores, and your grandmother's living room are tuning in to those classic Christmas ditties from the 30s and 40s. In this class, we will focus on crafting impeccable connection and technique to give you the gift of easy, lilting grace, and we'll dust it with juuuuuust a little heat for a creative glow. Let slow dancing show you everything that swing can be!

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)

Body Movin’

Like a spoken word poet or hip hop rapper, the true beauty and skill of improvised solo jazz comes not from staid, neutral steps, but from your own, unique FLOW that allows you to choose from a variety of movements at any given moment. This class will encourage you to think about your momentum, body shape, and natural movement to hone your skills as an improvisational solo jazz artist.

PRE-REQUISITES: Minimum completion of 3 months of Level 1. No partner required, just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes!

Harvest Moon J&J Prelim #3

Congratulations to the winners of the second preliminary round of Harvest Moon J&J! Leo and Tomo move to the finals, while Frances, Francesca, Ari, and Yoon earn points that count towards the finals.

The third and final preliminary round takes place this week! The contest is open to all amateur dancers, the finals are to live music, and the prizes are tickets to Lindy events. To learn all the details, head to our website.

 
 

Balboa Room (former Fast Feet Room)

We are very excited to re-purpose our Fast Feet room into a Balboa Room! That means that while you can still expect the tempos to be higher than the average on the main floor, our Balboa Room DJs will play a wider variety of tempos, as Balboa can be enjoyed at any speed. Also, while we are not gonna reprimand you for an occasional Shag move, Balboa dancing is highly encouraged!

 
 

Next Week: Sam Rocha Septet

Join us in dancing to live music with Sam Rocha Septet, and in watching the incredible finals of Harvest Moon Jack & Jill!
