We would like to thank Solomon Douglas and his Quintet for the awesome dancing we had last Wednesday! Not only we enjoyed the dancing, but we were also able to organize a Strictly fundraising competition, to help out Glenn Crytzer, who was injured in a car accident and couldn't come to the gig. Congratulations to Trevor and Julie for collecting the most money! And thank you everybody for your generous contributions. We were able to collect over 0, all of which went to Glenn to help him pay for his heavy medical bills.
Did you miss that dance but would still like to donate? You can do it online here:

The Moulin Rouge-themed Lindy Prom is coming up in just two weeks! The Moulin Rouge was the place to be for entertainment, and we would certainly love to replicate that. Do you have a short cabaret / showcase / performance for us? Anything goes! Juggling, funny acts, painting, singing, dancing, we want to see it!!!! Contact Idalia Ramos (
[email protected]) to sign up.

This week and for the rest of the month we'll be teaching a Flash Mob routine to perform this summer! We'll take 15 minutes during the dances every week and meet on the other side of the dividing wall; after we're done, we'll be ready to go out and perform it impromptu at different locations throughout the Bay Area. The routine is based on the Shim-Sham and so is appropriate to dancers of all levels. Those of you who know the Dean Collins version will get a special blocking!
Take a look at how fun it was the last time we did it!

2. May Classes: Gilles & Idalia! Eliott & Lori! Tap with Audrey!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7:15-8:15pm
*** Tap for Lindy Hoppers: w/ Audrey ***
Rhythm is king, and what better way to get in synch with the music than to create it with our feet! We'll learn some basic building blocks, combine them to make some classic steps, improvise a little and learn tap shim sham. Learn to use your body and control you weight changes in a whole new and fantastically deliberate way.
Please note: soft shoes only. No taps on the studio's floor!
*** LEVEL 2: Tandem & Hand-to-Hand Charleston w/ Gilles & Idalia ***
If you have ever ridden a tandem bike, you know that you first have to find your balance by yourself, and then together. But once you find it, you get to share a whole new partnership experience! This month, we will show you how to get on and off your Charleston tandem, and play with fun variations. Come and join us, no bike or helmet required! But wait, there's more. We will also play with hand-to-hand Charleston, one of our favorites, it's like a super handshake for lindy hoppers only!
8:15-9:15pm
*** LEVEL 1: 6 & 8-Count w/ Eliott & Lori ***
This is the good stuff! 6-count moves are fun and easy ways to rock out to the rhythm, featuring simple turns and spins for maximum follow flair and neat wraps and turns for the leads. We'll transition to 8-count footwork halfway through and teach you how to mix and match your new moves with ease.
*** LEVEL 3: Moves To Inspire You w/ Gilles & Idalia ***
This month, Gilles & Idalia will select moves from some of the Lindy Hop superstars and teach them to you to inspire you. They will deconstruct them to show you how they "work" and what makes them look so cool. They will make sure that there is equal material for leaders and followers.
