It's time to spring clean! Let's go through our closets, put aside the gently used garments we no longer want, and bring them to WNH next week, March 27th, for a Clothes Swap! Ready, set, go!

1. THIS WEEK: March Series Continue! Pajammy Jam! DJ Sarah Quan!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's week three of the March series, but you can always drop into any of our classes. We need more followers in the Level 2 class. Ladies, check out the description below -- flair, footwork and styling mean this class will give you a lot to work on!
Dance clothes should be comfortable. Very comfortable. At this week's party, dance in your comfiest of clothes -- in your pajamas! The Pajammy Jam party returns for a third year in a row with even more pillows, blankets and stuffed toys, with new and exciting games and prizes. All you need to do, is to show up in your family-friendly pajamas (and your slippers, robes, curlpapers and night caps, for the truly sleepy at heart) and dance out your wildest dreams... or dream during our wildest dances! DJ Sarah Quan will spin music to make you dream of Lindy Hop way after the dancing is over!

2. March Classes: Trevor & Julie! Gilles & Idalia! Margot & Richard!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7:15-8:15pm
*** ELECTIVE: The One Step w/ Trevor & Julie ***
The One Step (a.k.a: the Turkey Trot, Bunny Hug, Grizzly Bear) is a dance that originated in the early 1900s and is often done to Ragtime music. At the Savoy and other ballrooms across the country, there were two dances done: the One Step, and the Two Step (also known as the Lindy Hop). All the Lindy greats knew how to One Step. In his book, Frankie Manning talks about how they would race along the outside of the floor dancing the One Step and then would finish up the song with some Lindy Hop. This class will show you how to dance the One Step, get you cruisin' around the dance floor with ease, and help you integrate these cool new variations into your Lindy Hop.
*** LEVEL 2: Swing Out Technique w/ Gilles & Idalia ***
If you're ready to take your swingout to a whole new level, this is the class for you! Gilles and Idalia will help you improve your fundamental technique while also providing exciting ideas for styling and adding flair to your swingout. We'll explore variations of rhythm and tempo, fancy footwork, and other creative options to jazz up your basic style. Through it all, you'll learn how to creatively transform your swingout so that you can take yourself and your partner to a whole new level of creativity and enjoyment.
8:15-9:15pm
*** LEVEL 1: CHARLESTON 101: Kickin' It Old School w/ Margot & Richard ***
Think fast music is just for "Advanced" dancers? Horsefeathers! This month, Richard and Margot will help you build a solid swing foundation on the original "fast dance," the Charleston. We'll cover basic footwork for facing and side-by-side Charleston, and some cute turns and hand-to-hand variations -- moves that integrate seamlessly into your Lindy hop, and make dancing to fast music even more fun!
*** LEVEL 3: Musicality & Rhythm Styling w/ Gilles & Idalia ***
In this class series, Gilles & Idalia will explore the basics of swing music structure and how this structure can or may be should affect your dancing. They will also guide you to find ideas on how you can match your body movement to the music rhythms.
