*** Level 2: HAPPY FEET! with Jandi & Trevor ***
In this series, your feet are in for a treat! Jandi & Trevor will teach you to move with different rhythms, blending 6 & 8 count footwork. How can you tell if it's going to be 6 or 8 count? That's where the magic comes in. In addition to getting your body moving to these different rhythms, you'll learn how to lead a clear difference as well as be able to feel the difference between the different rhythms.
*** Solo Jazz: TRANKY DOO with Peter Bullen ***
The Tranky Doo is a classic jazz choreography danced by lindy hoppers all over the world! If you like the Shim Sham and are looking for something new, then this class is perfect for you! Come challenge yourself and move in new ways as Peter, your Tranky Doo guide, teaches you this dance that is sometimes silly and always fun! For a quick preview of the Tranky Doo, check out this clip from the movie, "Spirit Moves".
8:15-9:15pm:
*** Level 1: FOCUS ON SWING OUTS with Peter & Cheryl ***
It's summer and it's time to SWING OUT!! Come join Cheryl and Peter as they teach you the fundamentals of lindy hop! This month we'll be focusing on lindy hop's signature move, the swingout, and other 8-count moves. Swingouts, new moves, and lots of fun for everyone!
*** Level 3: BODY MOVEMENT AND CONNECTION with Jandi & Trevor ***
Dancing is like poetry. As one line of poetry flows to the next,so does our Lindy Hop energy and movement flow from one "move" to the next. This continuous flow blurs the lines of where one pattern stops and the next one starts. In this 4 week series, Jandi & Trevor will teach you how to stretch and flow from one pattern to the next, dynamically connecting with your partner and creating poetry with your movement.

3. Sneak Preview into August Classes!

*** Collegiate Shag with Trevor & Julie ***
This August, Julie & Trevor will be teaching Collegiate Shag! Collegiate Shag is a dance that evolved from the Charleston and was popular in the 1920's and 1930's with college students. It's an excellent dance to do when the tempos really start jumping and its 6 & 8 count footwork will help you keep up with ease! In this four week series, expect to become versed in shag styles, variations, and cool patterns! We'll get you shaggin' out to the faster songs, no problem!
We'll start you off with shag basics, so no previous shag experience is necessary but previous lindy and/or partner dancing experience is recommended. Expand your dance repertoire with this captivating dance form!

In this beginner level, 4 week series class, Julie & Trevor will teach you the art of transitioning between these rhythms. They will also teach you some 6 and 8 count patterns that will get you swinging' with style!
