Level 1: 20's Charleston with Gabe & Andrea W.

Level 2: Balboa with Gabe & Andrea W.

This series will cover all of the foundations of Balboa, including moves, technique and musicality. Balboa is a compact dance which is done in a close, upright embrace with small footwork.

Level 1: 20's Advanced Connection for Beginners with Gabe & Andrea W.
8:00 - 9:00pm
Have you ever wondered why some moves just don't work? Are you confused by the terms 'lead', 'follow', 'connection', and 'frame'? In this class, we will demystify these terms and teach you the advanced connection needed to execute difficult moves with ease. We will take you behind the smoke and mirrors of advanced Lindy Hop and put you on the fast-track to being a great dancer.

Level 2: Multiple Choice Swing-outs with Gabe & Andrea W.
7:00 - 8:00pm
In this specialty class, Gabe & Andrea W. will show you that there is more than one way to swing it out! You will learn to fit together the many styles and variations of the venerable swing-out. This class will give you the ability to vary the texture, technique and timing of each swing-out to match your partner, mood and music. We will cover as many variations as time permits.
