Classes in September 2011

admin — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 02:03:06 +0000

We’ll be teaching an intermediate Lindy Hop series all through September at Cat’s Corner. 8:00pm-9:00pm on Wednesday nights.

Classes will cover versatile and fun moves, connection technique, and creative/musical inspiration on getting more mileage from the moves you already know.

Details (for the entire 4 week series): Elegant styling inspired by Al Minns and the 1940′s swing dancers, turn variations with styling and directional changes, energetic charleston, and playful moves that inspire freedom.

Class includes Live Music Dance Party till Midnight with top San Francisco swing bands: Lavay Smith, Steve Lucky, and Clint Baker New Orelans Jazz Band. Full bar with drink specials for swing dancers.

It’s a progressive series, limited to 18 students!
