SWINGOUT SEMINAR!  (changed from Lindy Hop 101)
Instructors: Eric and Stephanie
Mondays, November 17 - December 15, 2008 (NO CLASS ON DEC 8 -- 4-week series)
7:00 - 8:00 PM, Lesson
 
Do you already know 6-count East Coast Swing and want to learn the foundations of Lindy Hop?  Have you taken our 101 series and want some more instruction just on the 8-count basics (Swingout and Lindy Circle)?  Or are you a more seasoned Lindy Hopper that just wants to focus on the most integral moves of Lindy Hop?  Then this is the class for you!
 
We'll spend 4 weeks on two moves: the Swingout and the Lindy Circle, with the biggest emphasis on the Swingout.  We will spend the first week teaching the move, particularly for those who have never danced 8-count before.  For the remainder of the series, we'll break apart, mold, and refine your Swingout and Lindy Circle!  Swing dancers never stop working on their Swingout, so no one is too advanced for this class!
 
NO PARTNER REQUIRED!
 
FEE: $40 / person ($5 discount for YMCA members) -- includes admission to the Tuesday Night Dance Party at Crews Rd Rec Center
 
REGISTER: See our Registration Page for details.

Tuesdays, November 18 - December 9, 2008 (4-week series)
7:00 - 8:00 PM, Lesson
8:00 - 10:00 PM, Dancing to DJed Music
 
The material in our Lindy Hop 201 class is constantly changing, so you can take it as often as you'd like.  In November, all four instructors will tag-team it to teach you techniques to help you dance faster!  We'll also add in some fun moves.  We will move quickly!  This class will work up your stamina and prepare you for our January Swingin' Saturday, which will feature One Leg Up, a band from Asheville that pulled a page from the Django Reinhardt songbook.  Their music is hot and fast, so be sure to take this class to prepare!  NO PARTNER REQUIRED!  PREREQUISITE: You must have completed at least one series of Lindy Hop 101 or have been regularly dancing socially for at least 4 months AND have an extreme comfort with 8-count moves.
 
FEE: $40 / person ($5 discount for Matthews residents) -- includes admission to the Tuesday Night Dance Party at Crews Rd Rec Center
 
REGISTER: Online registration coming soon.

 
We are thrilled to partner with the Town of Matthews Parks and Rec, the YMCA, and Church at Charlotte!
