Wednesday Night Hop owes a big "thank you" to the Americano Social Club for their incredible sets last week! Their creative covers (when was the last time you heard a Blondie tune sung as a swing song?) and their swingin' rhythms had us dancing alllll night long. All you girls and guys dolled up in your brightest colors were lovely, and really made the night a little more special! To those of you we said "goodbye" to in our jam (and there were way too many of you!) we will miss you, come back to visit as soon as you can!
Don't forget: Lindy Prom is coming up on the 20th, so keep an eye out for what you'd like to wear! See below for details.

1. THIS WEEK: June 13th - DJ Elliot Chow, June series continues
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This week, DJ Elliot will be spinning the tunes for us, be sure to come out and swing out! Now that summer is really here, its the perfect time to swing your cares away and come hang out with us.
For those of you in Rebecca's solo jazz class, remember to bring your hat to class so you can practice with it! On the other hand, you all looked cute in the matching plastic hats, too :-).

2. June Series: Rebecca Shannon, Margot & Richard, Gilles & Yvonne, JANDI!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the second two weeks of June, Jandi will be back from Korea to kick our Lindy into high gear! She will be teaching levels 2 & 3 while she's here. For those of you who took her classes the last time she was in California, you know that you're in for a treat!
7:15-8:15pm:
== Level 2: Swingout Styling and Technique with Gilles & Yvonne ==
This month, your instructors will be working on your swingouts! The swingout is the basic building block of our 8 count Lindy Hop, and learning to do it right, while dressing it up, will take your Lindy Hop to the next level!
== Solo Jazz with Rebecca Shannon: Ballin' the Jack routine ==
Ballin' the Jack is a song and dance created in 1913 which remained part of the popular culture up until the mid 1960's. It's comprised of traditional jazz (grapevines, scissors kicks, etc) and some razz-ma-tazz. It was one of Gene Kelly's favorite short routines. Bring a hat with a brim if you have one!
8:15pm-9:15pm:
== Level 1 with Margot & Richard: "Charleston 101: Kickin' It Old School" ==
Think fast music is just for "Advanced" dancers? Horsefeathers! This month, Richard and Margot will help you build a solid swing foundation on the original "fast dance," the Charleston. We'll cover basic footwork for 20's style Charleston (face-to-face) and 30's style Charelston (side-by-side). We'll also show you some cute turns and hand-to-hand variations- moves that integrate seamlessly into your Lindy hop, and make dancing to fast music even more fun!
== Level 3: Teachers' choice with Gilles & Yvonne ==
Details TBD, watch our web page for details!

As usual, if you don't want to dress to the theme, but would still like to dress up, feel free to come in your formal best (I LOVE seeing guys swing out in tuxes!).
