1. THIS WEEK: August Series Begin! Royal Society Rhythm Aces! DJ Steve Yang!

So many wonderful things will be happening in our classes in August! Idalia and Brian are coming back for 8-count Lindy Hop in level 1 and some smooth sailing in level 3. The Elective class will learn two new routines, Frankie Manning's Shim-Sham and Falty's Doin' The Jive. And Level 2 will be diving into Tandem Charleston! Remember to register online -- it's faster, it's easier, it's cheaper, too!

They are renowned for authentically performing the exciting sound of Big Band Swing, Hot Syncopated 1920s Jazz, 1930s & 1940s Swing, Blues, Dixieland, Romantic Background Music, Vintage Jazz, Traditional Jazz, and Western Swing. Let's give them a warm welcome!

2. August Classes: Idalia & Brian! Eliott & Katrina! Lori & Doug! Register Online!

7:15-8:15pm
*** LEVEL 2: Tandem Charleston w/ Eliott & Katrina ***
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: Smooth Sailing w/ Idalia & Brian ****
Every new dance is a new journey; every dancer responsible for experiences contained in it. Are the journeys you go on filled with rough waters, or do you impart calmness and serenity? In this class we will be exploring how to smooth out our movements and create flow in the dance. We will talk about how to create and redirect momentum in a graceful manner, and how to reincorporate some choppiness to add texture tastefully. By the end of this class, your partners will look forward to going on adventures with you.

# 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 Basic w/ Idalia & Brian ***
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!

*** ELECTIVE: Shim Sham and Jive w/ Doug & Lori ***
Do you feel left out when all the dancers jump on the floor and do a solo routine? Learn two popular solo routines done on dance floors across the world, Frankie Manning's Shim Sham and Doin' the Jive. These routines will flesh out your solo jazz vocabulary, help you feel comfortable adding style to your partner dancing, and let you dance with the whole room at the same time!

# PRE-REQUISITES: At least 3 months of Level 1. No partner required; just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes!
