Hats! They're not to just merely embellish our faces. They can also be spun, flipped, rotated and rolled, then be trown back on the head! Kevin St Laurent will be teaching a series class on hat tricks at Wednesday Night Hop next month. So if you don't have a hat yet, start looking for one. Kevin himself suggested the Goorin Bros. store in San Francisco (
www.goorin.com/) and we'll keep you posted with more store suggestions and tips on how to choose the right hat. Also, check out this amazing video of Hat Trick Tranky Doo!

2. January Classes: Randy & Kara! Gilles & Idalia! Audrey & Trevor!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7:15-8:15pm
*** LEVEL 2: 6/8-count in Your Lindy w/ Gilles & Idalia ***
So, you've learned the basic charleston, swingout and 6 count basics... now, how are you going to put them all together? In this class, we'll teach you how to build on your 6 and 8 count basics, seamlessly transition between movements, and expand your vocabulary of moves. Through it all, we'll also address foundational skills such as connection and frame.
*** ELECTIVE: All Levels Balboa w/ Randy & Kara ***
We are so very excited to have Randy & Kara teach our balboa series this month, because their schedule do not usually allow it. They are among the very best Balboa teachers in the Bay Area, don't miss this rare chance to learn from them!
8:15-9:15pm
*** LEVEL 1: Lindy Hop in The New Year w/ Audrey & Trevor ***
It's the new year and it's time to SWING OUT!! Come join Audrey and Trevor 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. If you'd like to refresh your basics, this is also an excellent 4-week progressive series for you. Swingouts, new moves, and lots of fun for everyone! A one, a two, you know what to do...
*** LEVEL 3: Balance & Movement w/ Gilles & Idalia ***
Dancing is all about movement. Moves are really just an after fact of body movement to create shapes and figures, some of which dancers enjoy repeating. In this series class, Gilles & Idalia will explore the creation, transmission, and continuity of movement in your dancing while interacting with your partner. They will also guide you through exercises to better understand how your body balance influences your dancing and partnership, and make followers focus on what they feel instead of just what they see.
