DJ Alex Fernandez comes all the way from San Francisco to spin the tunes for us!
This month we have a free 15-minute Shim-Sham lesson during our dance party. Learn this fun and easy routine and join the global community of lindy hoppers! (check out the video below and you'll know what we mean ;)) We'll announce it sometimes between 9:30 and 10pm. We started last week, but don't worry -- we'll review what we covered last time. The DJ will play it later during the dance so everybody can practice their new skills!

7:15-8:15pm:
*** Level 2: SWING-OUT VARIATIONS with Yon & Gilles ***
Love your swing-out but want some sass? Surprise and woo your partner with variations on your 1,2 and 7,8 counts. We will also spend some time fine-tuning your swing-outs.
*** COLLEGIATE SHAG (all levels, challenging) 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!

They will also teach you some 6 and 8 count patterns that will get you swinging' with style!
