7:30 p.m. Shim Sham and Solo Charleston
Instructors: Steven, Sarah, Laura
Prereq: Intro to Lindy Hop
This will be a bit of a hodge-podge session. We'll start off with a fun "line dance" (it's cool) called the Shim Sham. We'll also cover some solo charleston, and whatever else we determine is fun!
8:30 p.m. Intro to Lindy Hop
Instructors: Sarah Betzel and Steven Reinke
Lindy Hop was born amid the creativity and awakening of the Harlem Renaissance. This class will introduce you to the foundations of this exciting dance. Starting with the basic swingout, this class will introduce you to common turns and movement in an effort to make you comfortable in a social dance setting.
Registration is $25/person, payable at the door, and includes all four classes in a session. Partners are not required, as we will be rotating throughout the class. All classes are held in The Overture Center, 201 State St. Please check the screens at The Overture for room location each week.
