Red Hot Lindy Hoppers Dance this Saturday!

A.H. — Mon, 01 Feb 2016 07:48:54 +0000

It’s the beginning of a new month, so to celebrate both Lunar New Year and Valentine’s Day coming up, we’re going to get decked out in red and throw a dance party! Beginner’s intro lesson will be at 8, dancing starts at 9. See you on the dance floor!

Resuming Jan 23!

A.H. — Wed, 20 Jan 2016 01:55:29 +0000

We’re meeting again this weekend!

We will have class from 8-9, following by Lindy Lab, social dancing, and mini-private lessons. Our classes are structured in 3-4 week series that are drop-in friendly, so even if you miss a week, you will still be able to participate the next week. This first series will continue the 6-count Lindy Hop we started at the beginning of this month.

Don’t worry if you are brand-new to the dance; the class is 100% beginner friendly, and we especially welcome new people! Our classes are currently mixed-level, so we will have tips for both beginner and intermediate dancers alike. If you are a more advanced dancer, we also highly encourage trying out the other role if you’re comfortable with one already!

No meeting MLK Holiday

A.H. — Fri, 15 Jan 2016 10:14:02 +0000

We will not be meeting on January 16 due to the holiday. Please join us next week when we resume!
