1. THIS WEEK: Sept. 10th - DJ Alex - Great Classes + Gabe & Andrea!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
We have so much cool stuff planned for you this month! We are
introducing the newest members of our team, Gabe Takacs and Andrea
Wolf! In addition, we will be featuring our "Code Orange" party on
September 24th. More details below.

Gabriel and Andrea have been enthusiastic members of the dance scene
since 2000 when they began Lindy Hopping together in Tucson, Arizona.
After relocating to Los Angeles in 2001, they continued learning
Lindy Hop, Charleston, Balboa, Jazz, and Blues from renowned
instructors, including Ben and Sheri Yau, Debbie Gitt, Patrick
Fredrickson, and Doug Silton. In 2005, Gabe started graduate school
at Stanford University where he began teaching weekly lessons.

Meanwhile, Andrea taught Lindy Hop and Blues classes in Los Angeles
until moving to the Bay Area in 2006. Expanding their love of social
dancing to choreography and performance, Gabe and Andrea joined the
dance troupe Double or Nothing in 2005 and 2006, respectively. In
addition to weekly classes at Stanford, Gabe and Andrea have been
seen teaching at Bay Area venues, including Swing Central, Steppin'
Out and now Wednesday Night Hop. They enjoy using technique intensive
concepts to continually reach new levels in their dancing and
teaching. Since 2007, they have been traveling nationally to Lindy
exchanges and events in order to continually expand their dance
perspectives.
