>> MOVE MONTH! <<
The magic of lindy hop goes way beyond moves, which is why we don’t feature a ton of moves-based classes. But now and then, shoring up some vocabulary is a helpful way to keep our dancing effortless and fun. This month join Darcie each week for some classic lindy hop moves.
Please note: This is NOT a beginner series; dancers should be comfortable with 6-count basics and should be developing some lead/follow skills.

1/13 Move Month — Sugar Pushes

>>What's a practicum and social dance?
We DJ music just like a regular social dance. You can come out and just dance like normal, or you can come planning to work on something: Ask for feedback, work on a move, play with variations, master a routine.
>>Have a specific question?
Experienced dancers and local teachers are available at practicum to help out with sticky spots.
>> Balboa? Shag? Solo? Learning swingouts?
Let the DJ know what you're working on if you have specific music requests!
This building is physically accessible to enter. If you have accessibility concerns, please contact PLS.
