6/28 - Swing Dance Classes at Social Dance Studio, 6:30-9:30

East Coast Swing is at 6:30 and Lindy Hop is at 8:00. Come for some or all, it's the same price! Only $9 general or $7 for students. Plus, if you take the class, you get in to Late Night Swing for only $2!!

It's always best to pace yourself - you know how you learn best, whether it's lots of new information all at once, or a little at a time. The cost is the same, because you just pay once at the door and stay for as little or as much as you want! We recommend that if you're NOT ready to work at a particular level, feel free to sit and watch - but don't bite off more than you can chew! It ends up actually slowing down your learning process to try to get too much information in, and it's not fair to others who are truly ready to work at a more advanced level. (For example, if you still have to think hard about doing the basic footwork of Lindy Hop, the "Easy Lindy Hop" session will suit you fine and the "Ambitious East Coast" session is a great for Lindy-prep, but the "Ambitious Lindy Hop" may have to wait until that basic footwork comes more naturally.) Most of all, come prepared to have a good time and lots of fun dancing!!!

 

6/28 - Late Night Swing with DJ Terry Gardner @ Social Dance Studio, 10:00pm


It's one of the most popular nights of the week!  DJ Terry Gardner spins all your favorites and more!  Come out and dance, dance, dance.  Lots of fun including Shim Sham Shimmy, Tranky Doo, birthday dances, jams and the occasional dance showcase!  Don't miss out!
