Congratulations to the winners of WNH prelims for Battle of the Bay -- James Yeh & Irina Loseva, and Gilles Bouvier & Idalia Ramos! We can't wait to see you compete in the finals this Friday. Thank you everybody who entered the competition, it was so much fun to watch, and we are so proud to have so many awesome dancers come to our venue! Remember, the last prelim is this Tuesday at the Dancer's Den and everybody can go and compete there, too -- after all, this is a lot of fun!
The online registration for Swingin' At The Savoy is now closed, but we'll have passes at the door for Beginner and Beginner/Intermediate tracks for leaders. See you this weekend, it's going to be A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!

1. THIS WEEK: February Series! Black History Month! Swingin' At The Savoy!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's celebrate Black History month -- after all, this Lindy Hop thing is an original African-American art form! We have some great historical videos to show you on our white screen, and a lot of interesting stories to tell. And of course we'll have plenty of opportunity to celebrate by dancing, so come and dance!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. February Classes: Kevin & Jo! Kylie Woodard & Roger Thiede! Gilles & Idalia!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7:15-8:15pm
*** FLASH ACTS: The Essential & The Not-So-Essential w/ Kevin & Jo ***
There are certain things that you should know if you call yourself a Lindy Hopper. Once you have a good hold of some of those routines and moves that make up a typical Lindy Hopper's vocabulary the more likely you will will be able to speak each other's language, no matter what your native language is! In this class, Kevin and Jo will combine some of those things that everyone knows with a few things that can be augmented by other stuff that is just plain fun and frivolous - the use of Hats, Canes, "Flash Act" elements, Dancing in Heels.
*** LEVEL 2: Partnered Charleston w/ Kylie & Roger ***
Did you know that The Charleston isn't just about the 1920s and flappers? Partnered Charleston plays a very special part in the ensemble of Lindy Hop. This month Roger & Kylie will teach you the joy and fun of partnered Charleston. You will learn different Charleston transitions, kicks and turns!
8:15-9:15pm
*** LEVEL 1: 6-Count Basics w/ Gilles & Idalia ***
This month we will be covering the fundamental 6-count basic. From there we can add some spice with tuck turns, add some send outs and underarm pass-bys for gracefulness . Then, we will top it off with some breaks and mess rounds for a nice musical touch, and voila! We have a wonderful recipe for social dancing!
*** LEVEL 3: Teacher's Choice w/ Kevin & Jo ***
Are you ready to become a better dancer? Well, if you are, then come to class and get your booty whipped into shape by the world-renowned Kevin and Jo!
