1. THIS WEEK: October Classes Conclude! Harvest Moon Jack & Jill Derby Prelims! DJ Ed Ford!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even though it's not the last Wednesday of October, this week will be the last week of October classes -- we'll begin the November classes early to cover up for the Thanksgiving break. As usual, you can drop in to any of the classes.
The Harvest Moon Jack & Jill Derby is finally here! We'll be having three weeks of preliminary rounds, and finals to live music with Clint Baker's New Orleans Jazz band on November 13th. All amateur-level dancers are encouraged to participate. Registration costs for each preliminary round contest and is open to any eligible dancers, who haven't yet won a preliminary round. Our derby format will determine finalists in a series of prelims each week. The prizes are passes to awesome Lindy events!

2. October Classes: Balboa with Jeff Kroll & Idalia! Idalia & Gilles! Audrey & Paul! Lori & Eliott!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note the change in the time slots! Level 3 moved to 7:15pm, while the Elective class (Balboa) moved to 8:15pm. Be sure to come at the right time!
7:15-8:15pm
*** LEVEL 2: 8 and 6 Remixed w/ Audrey & Paul ***
When the worlds of 8- and 6-count swing collide, amazing dancing results! Join Audrey and Paul in learning some of the classic and awesome 6/8 count moves you see on the dance floor. You might think we'll be baking, with moves that include words like "roll" and "sugar", and you won't be far off as we explore the recipe for mixing them into more texture-rich dancing!
*** LEVEL 3: Musicality w/ Idalia & Gilles ***
Musicality, or how you adapt your dancing to the music, is something very personal and differs greatly from dancer to dancer. Yet there are fundamental elements that can guide you on this journey. Macro-musicality involves the structure of music, its phrasing, but also the general feeling and atmosphere of the song. Then there is micro-musicality: rhythms in each bar the music, accents, stretches, pauses, instruments playing with each other...
During this class series, we will look at those different musicality elements and how you can use play with each them in your dancing.
8:15-9:15pm
*** LEVEL 1: Lindy Hop w/ Lori & Eliott ***
Start dancing from day one! Eliott and Lori will get you moving in this month-long series that will make you an expert on basic footwork, turns, wraps, breaks and jazzy stylin'. Includes 6 and 8-count moves, an introduction to the swing-out foundation, and more fun than a barrel of monkeys.
*** ALL LEVELS BALBOA: w/ Jeff Kroll & Idalia ***
Balboa is subtle and intricate dance that can be an exciting and fantastic little intimate secret of connection and unspoken communication between you and your partner! Whether you have some experience already with this dance or you are an absolute beginner, you can gain more facility with the basics and learn some moves to faster and faster music in this series.
This series will start with the balboa basics, and quickly build up your balboa repertoire with paddles, come around, toss out, lollies, cross overs, slides, and show you how to mix them together in fun patterns.
