Organizing Wednesday Night Hop is a lot of work -- but also a lot of fun! So if you want to contribute to our scene in any way, come to our Town Hall meeting which will be held during the dance on January 21st. Make your voice heard on how to make WNH even more awesome! And while we're always open to volunteers to help with things like setting up our space or cleaning up after a dance or recording our recap videos, you'll also have the chance to join our organizing committee!

2. January Classes: Carla & Gilles! Katrina & Philippe & Doug!

7:15-8:15pm
*** LEVEL 2: Classic Moves w/ Philippe & Katrina ***
Points, Jig Walks, and Mini-Dips? Swing is one of the most playful dances, and we'll explore some of the most entertaining classic swing figures. You'll have a chance to add in your own style and creativity to make these figures your own, so that they evolve 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: 8-week Performance Class w/ Carla & Gilles ****
Getting the itch to work on a fun partner routine and perhaps perform it in front of your peers? Then this series is for you! Join Carla & Gilles for an 8-week performance class spanning January and February. You will need to find a partner, either ahead of time (facebook anyone?), or in class the first week of the series.

# 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: 6-count Lindy Hop w/ Katrina & Doug ***
Start dancing from day one! We will get you moving in this month-long series that introduces you to basic footwork, turns, wraps, breaks and jazzy stylin'. Covers the 6-count basics, also sometimes known as East Coast Swing, also used in Lindy Hop.

# PRE-REQUISITES: None. No partner required; just bring your enthusiasm and comfortable clothes!

*** ELECTIVE: Lindy Resolutions - Part 1 w/ Carla & Gilles ***
Giving some thoughts about New Year's resolutions? What about taking some Lindy resolutions for 2015? Carla & Gilles would like to help you with that. This two-part series (part 2 will be in February) is meant to transform your dancing by deconstructing Lindy Hop into its different parts (movement, rhythm, connection, partnering, momemtum) and then putting them back together. New understanding, new feel, new year, new you!

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