WEST COAST SWING FOR LINDY HOPPERS with Brian and Sue Mi
Sundays at Elan DanceSport Center
Sunday, August 8-29, 8:30-9:30pm
$55/person

The band swings into a slow- or mid-tempo blues-tinged number, and suddenly all that Charleston Tom taught you doesn't seem to work so well. Luckily, here come Brian and Sue Mi to the rescue! They're going to teach you enough West Coast Swing to feel comfortable on the dance floor. Taught from a Lindy Hoppers perspective, you'll learn the basics of these six- and eight-count patterns with stylistic changes to better fit slower tempos. You'll learn the basics of connection and weight-sharing that are common to all styles of dancing, but with the unique perspective that West Coast Swing brings. Brian and Sue Mi are the perfect choice for this class; both are originally Lindy Hoppers who also excell in West Coast Swing.

You must be registered for the entire session; no drop-ins allowed! Tuition is $55 per person for the four-week session.

In many ways, the art of dance is as simple as knowing how to do one thing five different ways. For this series, Kate and Bobby will concentrate on the many different ways of doing EVERYTHING in Lindy Hop. Different ways of holding hands, different ways of doing swing outs, different ways of doing tuck turns, different ways of anchoring, kicking, swiveling, leaning, making lines, and even falling. Plenty of fun for followers and leaders alike—if you only know five moves, we'll make you look like you have a hundred and five. You must be registered for the entire session; no drop-ins allowed! Tuition is $110 per person for the eight-week session. After-class dance party from 9-11pm is FREE to students in this class.
