1. THIS WEEK: May Series Continue! Frankie Manning Mega Mix! DJ Scott D!
We're so excited to have Jean & Bromley teach for WNH this month! Are you aware that they're open to giving private lessons while they're here? If interested, shoot them an email at jeanandbromley at gmail.com!
This week we're celebrating Frankie Manning's birthday! One of the founding fathers of Lindy Hop, Frankie possessed a joyous personality and a zest for life that inspired so many of us to keep pursuing better dancing, a stronger lindy community, more creative lives. To celebrate, we'll have a Frankie Manning Mega Mix show -- the Lindy Chorus, the California Routine, and the Shim Sham in one epic performance! You bet we're gonna record it and send it to the Frankie 100 Global Choreo project! Keep that in mind and make sure you wear some nicer clothes that you wouldn't mind presenting to the whole world!
For those with a competitive streak we're gonna have a speed Shim-Sham contest! How fast can you push it, and you push it, and you -- cross over?
The awesome DJ Scott is spinning the tunes this week!

2. May Series: Jean & Bromley! Gilles, Lori, Paul!
7:15-8:15pm
*** LEVEL 2: Chewy Charleston Chops w/ Lori & Paul ***
Add some pizzazz 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 and comfortable clothes!
*** LEVEL 3: Stylish Lindy w/ Jean & Bromley ****
While the song goes, "It taint what you do but how you do it", we believe it's actually a little of both. In this class we will be working on some fun moves and rhythms that will add contrast and musicality to your dancing (what you do) while also working on lines and dancing with your whole body (how you do it).
# 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.
8:15-9:15pm
*** LEVEL 1: 8-Count w/ Lori & Gilles ***
Hop on the fast track to amazing swingouts! Journey through the 8-count world with Gilles and Lori, 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!
# PRE-REQUISITES: None. No partner required; just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes!
*** ELECTIVE: Basic Aerials w/ Jean & Bromley ***
Come learn the foundational elements that will take you or your partner up, up and away. Besides a fun aerial for jam circles or competitions expect to learn the tricks of the trade for approaching aerials down the road. In this series we will be working on aerials from Tandem Charleston.
# PRE-REQUISITES: There will be no rotation, you MUST BRING A PARTNER. Knowledge of Tandem Charleston -- entering into it, staying in it, and exiting -- is highly recommended.
