The Electric Boogaloo prelims last week were so much fun, and so busy! We had 18 couples competing for the honor to represent WNH at the Battle of the Bay 2: Electric Boogaloo event this Saturday. Congratulations to Ben Polo and Irina Loseva for the #1 spot, and Chris Enriquez and Angie Huang at #2; we're very excited to have you guys represent us! Peter Bullen and Daria Sinitsyna placed third and are the runner ups for the finals. Thank you everyone for participating!
Next week is live music with Clint Baker! A night of sweet New Orleans jazz -- the joy for your ears, the party for your feet, the feast for your heart!

*** Come Shake That Thing this summer! w/ Idalia ***
For the first time ever, we will be having a Zumba style class for swing dancers!!! This is a perfect class for those new to solo dancing as well to those willing to improve their skills. Get your feet wet and start doing what will ultimately make you a rock star of a dancer! Tip from the pros: being able to dance awesomely on your own will transfer into dancing awesomely with a partner :) (who would of thought, huh?) So come get a head start and confidence in your body movement, learn how to do cool moves, and get ready to rock out!!!
*** LEVEL 2: Tandem Charleston w/ Rebecca & Peter ***
Spice up your Lindy language with some hot, fast-paced Tandem Charleston. Your trusty guides, Peter and Rebecca will navigate you through the in's and out's and all of the awesome variations in between. We'll focus on footwork, connection, and creative ways these fun steps can be added seamlessly into your Charleston repertoire.
8:15-9:15pm
*** LEVEL 1: Swingoutmania w/ Paul and Idalia ***
Hop on the fast track to swingout awesomeness! Journey through the 8-count world with Idalia and Paul, developing your swingout and jazz skills on the road to Lindy Hop. You'll learn some cool ways to move your feet to the rhythm, as well as some some flashy figures. But best of all, you'll gain more confidence with a widening swing repertoire, paving the way to even more fun with your partner!
*** LEVEL 3: Slow it Down, Stretch it Out, Sauce it Up...What to do when the music turns Blue w/ Rebecca Shannon ***
We'll be exploring slower tempos through solo movement, adding that to your partner dancing and then wrapping it all up in a fun routine to keep it in your muscle memory. Add some sizzle to your summer dancing!
