What better way to usher in the coming school year than to throw our cares away one more time! Come dressed in your best 50's style dress fully flared and fabulous! Guys can be Nerds or Jocks or Greasers, come as you are, come one come all. Enter our "Best Dressed" contest and strut your stuff!

Lots of fun to be had! Special discount when you present your student ID at the door ($5 dance and $10 lesson). We'll be well into our series classes but it's never too late to drop in and learn something new! You are always welcome. Come join the party on Wednesday, August 19th!

August Classes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Level 1 - 20's Charleston & Beyond - with Trevor & Audrey
8:00 - 9:00pm

Flappers and Speakeasies and the roaring 20's! This bygone era is characterized by a style of swing dancing that is still a part of Lindy Hop today. Sometimes called face-to-face Charleston, this style of dance is done in closed position and roots the Lindy Hop in a never-ending pulse. From this position, the dancers started to stretch away from each other and Lindy Hop was born! In this class, we will show you how 20's Charleston and Lindy Hop link up as well as give you some classic jazz movement like "Shorty George" and "Boogie Back". Don't be a "Palooka". Take this class and you'll be the "Bee's Knees"!

Level 2 - "Bei Mir Bist Du Schon" Means That You're Grand! - with Trevor &
Audrey
7:00 - 8:00pm

Charleston, Lindy Turns, Dips, Jumps, Connection Exercises, Musicality - It's all part of Lindy Hop and it's time to put it all together. If you feel as though you have learned all the basics in the beginning class, here is where you will refine what you have learned and synthesize it into a fun routine to remember all the pieces of the puzzle and grab hold of some new and fun ways to transition between them. Though it is a routine, lead and follow will be constantly emphasized and performance is not a requirement.
