Swing 1 + 2 at the Blue Sage in June !

Swingin' Summertime!
Wednesdays in June at the Blue Sage - learn basic swing, review your skills,
or join us for Swing 2 to add more zest, new moves, and greater connection in your dance!
 Swing 1:  All ages welcome, and no partner needed to get started in Swing dance!  We'll learn 6 count swing, partner connection, and plenty of moves to put you at ease on the social dance floor.
6:30 - 7:30, plus half an hour after class to dance and really get your new skills into your muscle memory.
Swing 2:  New moves, greater self expression, and more musicality for your dance! Spend the first half hour warming up, dancing with students from both Swing 1 and 2, and then on we go with more 
joyful Swing grooves for the one hour lesson.  7:30 - 9 p.m.
Free classes:  if you're signing up for Swing 2 and want to help out with Swing 1, too, you can come to Swing 1 for free!  This is also a great opportunity for dancers with experience to switch roles: women can to learn to Lead, or men can learn to Follow. 

Cost:  $9 per class with punch card, $11 drop in.  Special family rate:  3 or more $21 for everyone per lesson.

Swing Rueda! Thursdays in May at the Sage

Swing Rueda!
Taken from Salsa Rueda (rueda means wheel), this circle dance:
* is danced and enjoyed all over the world
* employs very common moves found in Swing, Lindy Hop, and Jazz dance
* moves can also be used in your social dance 
* is easy to learn:  there are only so many moves, a caller tells you which one to lead,
   and women can enjoy leading it, too!

We'll be teaching Rueda each Thursday in May, at the Blue Sage, from 7:30- 9.  You can drop in,
and we also encourage you to take as much of the 4 week session as possible (May 10, 17, 24,
and 31).  Cost is $9 per class, with a punch card, or $11 drop in.

Disfruta!  Enjoy!
