DJ Scott returns to spin the tunes. We love you, DJ Scott!
The 15-min free lesson RETURNS! At about 9:30 after you've had a few songs to practice your moves on the social floor, we'll steal away to the back room for a short 15-min. lesson to teach SWING RUEDA this quarter! Join Trevor and Audrey to learn this group dance done in a big circle with called moves sort of like a square dance. Check out this video of swing rueda done at the 9:20 Special in San Francisco (yes, that is Megan, our fouding mother, leading):

This month at Wednesday Night Hop:
*** LEVEL 1 - 8-COUNT LINDY HOP ***
8:15 - 9:15pm
For this 4-week series, Julie & Trevor will be giving you a solid foundation for your Lindy Hop, (Lindy basic, swing-out from closed, and Lindy circle), as well as some fun lead and follow variations on top of that. And don't forget the jazz! Julie & Trevor will be spicing up the series with jazz stylings that can easily be incorporated into your Lindy Hop basics.
*** LEVEL 2 - A BALANCED LINDY DIET ***
7:15 - 8:15pm
It's time to tear open the Lindy package and sink our teeth into some tasty basics contributing to a replete repertoire of moves for the social dance floor. Gilles and Audrey, eager to feed you some swing-out technique, hope to make your swingouts leaner, meaner, relaxed and energized by efficiency. Covering outside turn variations, a smorgasbord of tuck turns, barrel roll, dips and a bit of Frankie Manning's classic favorites, this class will make your head spin, with some cherry-topping traveling turns and pop turns - skirts will fly!
*** LEVEL 3 - FAST LINDY FUN!!! ***
7:15 - 8:15pm
Better double knot those shoelaces to prevent injury to others (you know...having your shoes fly off)! In this series, Julie & Trevor will be cranking up the tempo, covering fast Lindy technique, and adding in a mess of other cool stuff.
*** ALL LEVELS BALBOA - DANCING FAST AND TURNING ***
8:15 - 9:15pm
Kick your Balboa into high gear in April with Jeff & Pinar! We will be focusing on dancing effortlessly to higher tempos. We will also be introducing a lot of super fun turns that safe at any speed, and one very special hijack for the follows that's fun for both partners!
