1. THIS WEEK: September 12th! September Series Continue (with Aerials Training)! DJ Dhruv Bhargava!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you attended the Epic Swing workshop this past Saturday, chances are, you are excited about aerials! Did you know that we are offering Aerials Training as our Elective class this month? With proper training, the "Cupcake" could become a piece of cake ;). It's not too late to join the class! Come with a partner, or come solo (and if you're a follow, we have extra leads!)
Please remember to always be safe while doing aerials. Aerials are NOT intended to be used on the social dance floor, and you should never do an aerial with a partner you don't know well. The ones you will be learning in class are safe and fun, but still not meant for social dancing.
Check out the full class descriptions below and hope to see you in class!
And after the classes, let's welcome DJ Dhruv Bhargava to spin the tunes for us!

7:15-8:15pm:
*** Level 2 - CHOO CHOO CH-CHARLESTON! with Hunter & Audrey ***
Get ready for some fun! This month Hunter and Audrey will be getting down to some serious Charleston stuff including kick through Charleston, hand-to-hand Charleston, Tandem Charleston and the Chase!
*** AERIALS TRAINING with Gilles & Angela ***
Frankie Manning created the first "Air Step" with his partner, Frieda Washington to wow the crowd at a dance contest at the Savoy Ballroom in the 1930's. These days an "Air Step" or Aerial, as they are sometimes called, is defined as any move in which both the follower's feet leave the ground at the same time. Join Angela & Gilles this month to learn how flying and basing techniques to make aerials fun and safe. Feel free to come with a partner, or we will pair people together. Let's fly to the moon together!
8:15-9:15pm:
*** Level 1 - CHARLESTON with Gilles & Angela ***
The Charleston began as its own dance in the 1920s and took the US by storm. The Lindy Hop evolved from it and even giving it its own flavor. The two are very often mixed together in the same dance. Join Angela and Gilles to learn 1920's and 1930's style Charleston and how to make them fit seamlessly with your Lindy Hop.
*** Level 3 - SLOW & FAST with Hunter & Audrey ***
Join Hunter and Audrey as they embark across the spectrum of Tempo. Start out the month with slower music and how to keep the dance classy followed by faster music and how to dance accordingly. This is a great class for people who already feel they have strong fundamentals in their dance and want to start thinking about how to fine tune their art both aesthetically and mechanically.
