The last week was a fabulous week for dancing -- we had a great time at the Dancers' Den, and then so many people came out to dance at Wednesday Night Hop the next day, we had to bring the wall down! It was sad to say goodbye to the lovely Cheryl Crow, but she promised to come and visit. Thank you everybody for all the fun dancing, and thank you DJ Alex Fernandez for making it such an awesome week of dancing for us!
Did you know that the National Hat Day happens every January? We will be celebrating it next week on January 23rd with a fabulous Hat Party! Come wearing your favorite, prettiest, or funkiest hat, watch a performance by Double or Nothing and get inspired to take the Hat Tricks class at WNH next month!
We'll have the incomparable Kevin St. Laurent teaching a Hat Tricks class in February! So get ready by getting a trick-appropriate hat this month. Kevin recommends the Goorin Bros. hat store in San Francisco (or online @
www.goorin.com/), while for South Bay shopping you can try the Chapel Hats at Westfield Valley Fair mall. We heard that Target and Walmart also carry hats that are good for tricks. What is your favorite place for hat shopping? Share it on our FB page!
If you don't know how to choose a hat that would be good for hat tricks, we have a few tips for you:

2. January Classes: Randy & Kara! Gilles & Idalia! Audrey/Julie & 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/Julie & Trevor ***
It's the new year and it's time to SWING OUT!! Come join Audrey/Julie 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.
