It's time to bring out that choreographing-performing side of you! At the end of this month, on September 25th, we'll have another 30-second showcase. Anyone can participate! All you need to do is to decide on a song that speaks to you, and choreograph a short and sweet routine of your choosing! Partner(s) optional. The dance style must be lindy hop, balboa, shag, blues, or from the jazz era, and the music must be pre-recorded jazz-era, or modern swing music. You will perform your routine during the regular social dance at Wednesday Night Hop to an encouraging and enthusiastic audience; if ever there was a time to start performing, it's now! This event is open to dancers of all skill levels, but those with limited to no choreographed performance experience are strongly encouraged to participate.
Check out the great routines people put together during previous years!

7:15-8:15pm
*** SOLO JAZZ: Come Shake That Thing this summer! w/ Idalia ***
By popular demand, we are continuing our 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: Swing Out -- Focus on the Send Out w/ Kylie & Roger ***
Do you and your social dancing partners a favor by taking care of them during one of the most important moves in lindy hop, the Swing Out! Learn some very useful new ways to think about the dance and expand your knowledge base and options for how to execute great and comfortable swingouts for both your leaders and your followers in myriad different ways. This class focuses mostly on counts 4,5&6 of the swingout which deals a lot with how the follow is sent out and what she can do with the different ways that happens.
8:15-9:15pm
*** LEVEL 1: Charleston w/ Margot and Richard ***
Come out and kick your way around some basic Charleston in this class with Margot and Richard. They will cover basic body movement, drill technique on Charleston kicks, teach you 20s and 30s style Charleston and get you ready to kick it on the social dance floor.
*** LEVEL 3: Flow & Momentum w/ Idalia & Brian ***
When dances feel the best a beautiful chord is struck between how leaders and followers interpret energy flow and loss or sustaining momentum created between both partners and from one partner to the other. Every pair of instructors will interpret this flow and momentum differently and will incorporate it into their dancing in exciting ways. Idalia and Brian will explore how they experience flow and momentum in their dancing and share some great ways you can think about it too.
