Thank you so much for making Swingin' at the Savoy, our first weekend workshop, such a great success! We loved the atmosphere at the downtown Mountain View venue and look forward to doing it again sometime. It all could never have happened without all the staff & volunteer help and all of you to make the energy so amazing in the classes, lectures and evening ball!
We were really happy to have Events and Adventures come through our doors last week! What a great group of people; thank you for welcoming them and making them feel at home!

*** LEVEL 1 - FROM SWINGOUT TO CHARLESTON AND BACK ***
8:15 - 9:15pm
The Charleston is an integral part of Lindy Hop. It began as its own dance in the 1920s and evolved within the Lindy Hop in the 1930s. Angela and Gilles will teach the basics of the Charleston and how it fits within the Lindy Hop. This series will cover rhythm, technique, and partner connection in the Swing Out, 20s face-to-face Charleston, and 30s side-by-side Charleston.
*** LEVEL 2 - SWINGOUT TECHNIQUE AND STYLING II ***
7:15 - 8:15pm
If you’re ready to take your swingout to a whole new level, this is the class for you! Brian and Cheryl will help you improve your fundamental technique while also providing exciting ideas for styling and adding flair to your swingout. We’ll explore variations of rhythm and tempo, fancy footwork, and other creative options to jazz up your basic style. Through it all, you’ll learn how to creatively transform your swingout so that you can take yourself and your partner to a whole new level of creativity and enjoyment.
*** LEVEL 3 - SPINS AND TURNS ***
7:15 - 8:15pm
Spins and turns all the way around! This month the Level 3 classes with Gilles & Pinar will focus on turning and spinning technique. Inside turns, outside turns, tuck turns, traveling turns, jump turns, flashy turns, turns for gals, turns for guys, turns in your charleston, turns in your jazz steps, tricky combinations... you will turn turn turn and learn to not get dizzy too. We will focus on connection, balance, speed, linear and rotational momentum and give you tips to improve your technique. You will all want to wear that twirly skirt,...even boys,...well, maybe not!
*** ALL LEVELS BALBOA ***
8:15 - 9:15pm
Experience the finer points of life in your Balboa! In March, Jeff and Pinar will show you how some of the building blocks of your Pure Balboa and Bal-Swing can be elegantly combined in numerous creative ways. Be a part of this creative process when the sum starts to be greater than its parts. They will show you interesting combinations, modified basics, alternative footwork and styling to make your Balboa just a little bit more exciting.
