2. Oct-Nov Classes: Kirk & Audrey! Yon & Manu!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7:15-8:15pm
*** LEVEL 2: Charleston Chew w/ Kirk & Audrey ***
Get your teeth into this grab bag class of Charleston moves. We have two months of Charleston vocabulary in level 2 that repeat every six months. These are the moves that are not in the official curriculum but are still super fun to do!
*** SWING RUEDA: Otra Vez! w/ Yon & Manu ***
Swing Rueda is based on the famed 1950's Cuban dance, Salsa Rueda. Rueda is danced in a circle with two or more couples. There is a dancer who calls the moves which the entire circle executes in unison. Some moves require partner changes and that's when the fun begins.
Some of the moves' names are the same in both the Swing and Salsa versions of the dance. For example, Dame (which translates as give me) is used to get a new partner. Other names have changed slightly due to the largely non-Spanish speaking dancers in Swing. For example, Enchufala became Chalupa. Other names are not related at all to the original Salsa version, such as Sushi or Amoeba.
Manu Smith has taught many Swing Rueda classes and had his own Rueda team in NY. Join Manu and Yon as they take you through many of the basic Swing Rueda moves. It is a fun challenge for intermediate level dancers and above.

8:15-9:15pm
*** LEVEL 1: 6-count & 8-count Basics w/ Kirk & Audrey ***
Learn to Swing Dance with Kirk and Audrey! In this 3-week series we will cover basic 6-count and 8-count moves that will get you started swinging on the dance floor! No partner required and no prior experience necessary.
*** LEVEL 3: Moves That Make You Go Hmmm... w/ Yon & Manu ***
Manu and Yon present some flashy moves that will make you go "hmmm, how do I do that?" As flashy as they look, they are all based on the fundamentals of; balance, lead/follow technique, frame, leverage, compression, etc. They will show you the moves, and drill the basic concepts that actually make them work. Even if you can't keep up with the "flash", you will leave the class with the knowledge and concepts that will make you a better dancer.
