They are an emerging San Francisco dance band that brings to the stage a potent mix of vintage dance music with a dynamic, soulful delivery. Quickly gaining momentum in California swing dance communities, the band, comprised of talented musicians, draws from several decades of exhilarating American music - from the famous to the obscure - spanning the eras of Swing & Big Band, Blues, 60s Soul and R&B, and Motown. http://wednesdaynighthop.com/event/20140604/DJ Steve Yang spins the band breaks!

2. June Series: Rebecca & Kevin! Megan & Laura! Margot & Richard! James & Katrina!
7:15-8:15pm
*** LEVEL 2: Swingouts -- Focus On 7,8,1,2 w/ James & Katrina ***
The mother move of Lindy hop, the swing out! When you add cool footwork and breaks to counts 7,8,1, and 2, the swingout becomes a lean mean awesome machine. Whether youíre a lead or follow, learn the secrets to connecting well with your partner while doing fun footwork, and expand your swingout repertoire to be more musical with your dancing!
# 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: Connection Intensive w/ Rebecca & Kevin ****
In this social dance of ours, it's our connection with our partners that makes it MAGIC. Rebecca and Kevin will teach you to play and move with connection, to listen actively to both leads and follows, and how to use that connection to build increasingly complex and great feeling dances.
# 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: Charleston w/ Richard & Margot ***
Did you know that the Charleston preceded even swing and lindy hop? It's true! Come learn the fundamental steps that took the 1920s by storm, and which today form the basis of all that we call swing. You will learn fundamental Charleston moves this month, which will help you figure out how to fit them with whatever other moves you already know...but fear not if you've never danced before, we'll get you up to speed on swing basics as well!
# PRE-REQUISITES: None. No partner required; just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes!
*** ELECTIVE: Swing Rueda w/ Megan & Laura ***
Swing Rueda is an exciting, very social, group lindy swing dance! Adapted from Salsa Rueda by Jeff Miller and Elaine Hewlett, Swing Rueda is danced in a circle with two or more couples. One dancer calls the moves and the entire circle executes in unison, as the follows travel around the circle dancing one or more moves with each lead. Once you learn the core moves you can dance a Swing Rueda anywhere. Get ready for a lot of fun and a ton of cool moves that can be incorporated into your Lindy Hop.
# PRE-REQUISITES: Execute a swingout, lindy circle, charleston, texas tommy, and 6-count moves and transition between them in open and closed positions. No partner required, just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes!
