Our fourth annual Harvest Moon Jack & Jill Derby has come to an end. Congratulations to this year's winners -- Eliott Gray & Helen Lu in 3rd place, Dasha Sinitsyna & Paul Csonka in 2nd, and James Yeh & Irina Loseva in 1st! All finalists won fabulous prizes -- passes to various Lindy events. We would like to thank everyone that made this event happen -- our wonderful judges who contributed their time and skills in judging the competitions, the Lindy events that were so generous with donating the passes as prizes, the organizers who put this event together, and of course, all the participants -- your enthusiasm and smiles made it so much fun, we will be thrilled to repeat it again next year!
Next week we're closed due to Thanksgiving... however, as each year, we'll take that opportunity to have a field trip to Cat's Corner in San Francisco! Cat's Corner is a weekly venue happening each Wednesday in Savanna Jazz club in the Mission district, with a different live band each week. Next week they'll feature Steve Lucky & The Rhumba Bums, as well as the Orange Red Dress-To-Impress Party! We are going to run a carpool that leaves the Cheryl Burke parking lot at 8pm -- everybody is welcome to join! The WNHoppers will get a discounted entry, too -- we'll only pay entry fee each. What a nice opportunity to dance just before this huge Thanksgiving meal!

1. THIS WEEK: November Series Conclude! Clothing Exchange! DJ Dhruv!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This will be the last class of November series, since we'll be closed on Thanksgiving week, but as usual, you're welcome to drop in. This will be a super-special Wednesday night, as this week we're hosting another Clothing Exchange! The rules are simple -- bring over your NEW or SLIGHTLY USED and CLEAN clothing, shoes, accessories -- think of something that you yourself would have liked, something you would offer to a friend. We'll have a corner where you can put / hang your things and look at stuff that other people brought. If you like something, it's yours! At the end of the night, don't forget to pick up your items that weren't claimed by anyone, as everything that is left behind will be donated. Keep calm and swap clothes!

2. November Classes: Balboa with Jeff Kroll & Margot! Idalia & James & Kevin Weng! Brian & Angela!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 2F: Chewy Charleston Chops w/ Idalia & Kevin Weng ***
Add some pizzaz to your Charleston by kicking and double-kicking our way through "airplane" charleston, Hand-to-Hand moves, Hack-saws and Kick-Throughs. We'll even make the magical mix of Charleston Swing-Outs to really get you flying through those swingin' beats! This is a progressive 4-week class; show up on the first week to get maximum benefit.
#Pre-requisites: Execute a swingout, lindy circle, charleston and 6-count moves and transition between them in open and closed positions. No partner required, just bring your enthusiasm!
*** Level 3: Footwork Variations, Styling, Lines w/ Angela & Brian ***
You've mastered all the moves and you're dancing confidently with all kinds of partners. Now you're considering the bigger picture: layering these complicated variations and styling with a solid partner connection, creating a two-body picture with great quality of movement and intentional aesthetics. This class will explore that heady level where theory meets execution.
#Pre-requisites: At least nine consecutive months of Level 1 and Level 2 including one full year of social dance, or discuss your eligibility with instructors. Under-qualified students will be asked to transfer to Level 2 in order to strengthen their fundamentals. No partner required.
8:15-9:15pm
*** Level 1B: 8-Count Basic Lindy Hop w/ Idalia & James ***
When you really want to dig that swing beat, there's nothing like 8-count lindy hop! We will start with the basics, from zero dance experience on up, and get you swinging around the dance floor in no time! This is a progressive 4-week class; show up on the first week to get maximum benefit.
#Pre-requisites: NONE! No partner required; just bring your enthusiasm!
*** ALL LEVELS BALBOA: w / Jeff Kroll & Margot ***
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.
