*** SOLO JAZZ - THE BIG APPLE! ***

Come learn the Big Apple dance as performed by the original Whiteys Lindy Hoppers. Filled with vintage vernacular Jazz movements that will inspire and improve your dance quality. Join Hunter as he breaks down the movements into simple and easy to understand concepts that will get you dancing! It is Frankie's birth month and the folks up at the 9:20 Special in SF are learning this routine too, so perhaps we can all join together in a huge spontaneous Big Apple out there somewhere! The more people who know it, the better!
*** LEVEL 2 - IT'S TIME TO TURN! ***
7:15 - 8:15pm
A lot of the fun of dancing is about turning. In this class, you will learn how to turn your partner and yourself, when to turn and how fast, and how not to get dizzy. We will play with inside turns, outside turns, pop turns, barrel turns, travelling turns, lock turns, no blinking signals required. We may put a few spins on them too. We hope followers turn out en masse for this level 2 series, we need you followers, come to turn with us!

It's time to swing! One of the most fun parts of swing dancing is blending 8-count footwork, 6-count footwork, and other interesting rhythms. It's never boring, to say the least! In this beginner level 4 week series class, we'll teach you some basic 6 and 8-count moves and then explore the art of transitioning between these rhythms.
