1. SWINGIN' AT THE SAVOY 2014: Single-Day Registration Passes Now Available! Calling On All Leaders!
We are now offering single-day workshop passes! If you know you can only free yourself up Saturday or Sunday, we didn't want you to miss out. Now is your chance to be part of an unforgettable weekend. You can even get a dance + workshop combo. Calling on all LEADERS: Followers who have signed up for Tracks A, B, and C, would really like to have a balanced ratio of leaders to dance with during classes. We are currently short of a few leaders in those three tracks. Which is very surprising for Silicon Valley. We know you're out there and we want you to come join in. Fun times will be had by all! http://swinginatthesavoy.com/ https://www.facebook.com/swinginatthesavoyhttps://www.facebook.com/events/554041048023738/

2. THIS WEEK: February Series Continue! Tranky Doo Performance!
You've heard the news -- Dexter Santos is teaching two classes this month, and Brenda Russell will come in the last week and teach the Elective class. So it's totally worth registering for the whole series! Have you missed the registration last week? You can still register for the rest of the month, for a prorated price, too! http://wednesdaynighthop.com/register/Let's get the Dipsy Doodle in our hair, let things we say come out in reverse, and Tranky Doo! This week, January's Tranky Doo class will perform that fun routine for us, and everyone who knows it is welcome to join in! There will be a free 15-minute review on the other side of the dividing wall at the beginning of the dance, and we'll throw in some minor blocking in for more fun -- however, do join us for the performance even if you can't join the review. Can't wait to see the way the Dipsy Doodle works!

3. February Classes: Dexter Santos & Katrina! Lori & Paul!
7:15-8:15pm *** LEVEL 2: Tandem Charleston w/ Lori & Paul *** Spice up your Lindy language with some hot, fast-paced Tandem Charleston. Your trusty guides 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.
# 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 and comfortable clothes!
*** LEVEL 3: Flow & Momentum w/ Dexter Santos & Katrina Haus *** When everything feels right, when a dance really becomes A Dance, when leaders and followers feel comfortable playing off of each other by directing and redirecting energy and momentum, a beautiful chord is struck. As a world famous Blues dancer with a background in Lindy Hop, Dexter Santos will help you explore flow and momentum and share a few ways to incorporate it into your dancing in fun and exciting ways.
# 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 1: 8-Count Basic Lindy Hop w/ Lori & Paul *** 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 and comfortable clothes!
*** BLUES Fundamentals w/ Dexter Santos & Katrina Haus *** Imagine: The dance - floor full and hopping. The band - live and killing it. You - just took a break and ready to start dancing up a storm. You ask someone to dance and the band cues up a song... a blues song. Wait! Don't panic! You got this. You got this because you were wise and signed up to learn how to deal with situations just like this, in style. Dexter Santos discovered Blues dancing in 2005, and found himself immediately drawn to the rhythms and sounds of the Blues. Something about the music - its emotional depth and range, the varied subjects and stories, the hip-shaking, the gritty, the smooth - gave Dexter's dancing new inspiration and direction. With a background in Ballroom dancing and Lindy Hop, Dexter has studied and collaborated with the best Blues dance teachers and dancers around the world making him one of the most sought-after and admired teachers and dancers in the national and international blues scene.
Brenda Russell will teach the fourth week of this series!
