April classes and a One Pop Playshop: the Shim Sham Shimmy!

Hi there, dancers!
Our Swing-into-Lindy class is for everybody who
wants to learn Lindy Hop, but is currently more comfortable with 6 count Swing; we'll show you how to combine the two in a fun, relaxing class.
Sundays in April, starting on the 8th, 2:30 - 3:30
plus an extra half hour of practice time, 3:30 - 4 pm.
Lindy 1.5 will focus on continuing to build Lindy Hop skills, and blending in your 6 count Swing moves, so you'll have a nice repertoire of dance moves and will be able to dance easily for hours.
The Shim Sham Shimmy is an easy to learn, super fun routine.  Once you learn it, you'll be able to join with swing and tap dancers all over the world, in performing this individually-danced choreography,
made newly popular by Lindy Hop legend Frankie Manning.  Frankie died a couple years ago, but he lives on in the Shim Sham Shimmy, and the love that Lindy Hoppers hold for him.
