Mixing 6 and 8 count East Coast Swing at the Swedish Club, Seattle <p>Swing Into Lindy Playshop #3 - Sunday February 5th!<br /><span class="xv78j7m" spellcheck="false">https://www.facebook.com/events/595596962377891</span><br />Yes, more Lindy Hop fun, for intermediate level dancers. We'll introduce some Charleston moves into the mix of 6 and 8 count moves. And we'll review and fine tune the Swing Out and Circle. <br />Enjoy dancing to vintage swing tunes, on the wonderfully smooth dance floor at the Swedish Club, while the rain falls outside. Preregistration by midnight tonight gives you a $5 discount, and you can avoid the line tomorrow, too. <br /><br />PS The registration link below takes you to classes; ours is called "Lindy 3", though it is the beginning level for Lindy Hop - it's an intro / refresher class on Lindy basics, and how to combine them smoothly with 6 and 8 count East Coast swing!<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhobW3eR_N5Q1ffe4GJZOFH1p9-1YUPWvsl6odBDKepUQCsnYReLJn5VAZYI56GlPLC78Id6zJLEpSFmz-vHxCmj-05u_sCCriAXpV3eeXto70ktGhL87L_5-vwHLEQ7wWKQLYheu88MQNMbNEAKHmwEGxtmNGuOhqJ8bfD7g-aCIdIXqqPO60GsoSrTA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="241" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhobW3eR_N5Q1ffe4GJZOFH1p9-1YUPWvsl6odBDKepUQCsnYReLJn5VAZYI56GlPLC78Id6zJLEpSFmz-vHxCmj-05u_sCCriAXpV3eeXto70ktGhL87L_5-vwHLEQ7wWKQLYheu88MQNMbNEAKHmwEGxtmNGuOhqJ8bfD7g-aCIdIXqqPO60GsoSrTA=w226-h300" width="226" /></a></div><br />Instructors: Margot Richardson & Mark Richardson<br />When: February 5th, 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM<br />Location: The Swedish Club | 1920 Dexter Avenue North, Seattle, WA, 98109<br />Cost: $30 Amelia Registration, $35 Walk-In Registration<br />Register here: <br /><a class="x1fey0fg xmper1u x1edh9d7" href="https://www.amilia.com/store/en/northwest-dance-network/shop/programs/85098?subCategoryIds=4269741">https://www.amilia.com/store/en/northwest-dance-network/shop/programs/85098?subCategoryIds=4269741</a><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Mark and Margothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04171822689781346707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878237668448373785.post-27508130799322996012020-01-14T15:47:00.000-08:002020-01-25T20:45:53.020-08:00Share the Joy !

<em style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri;">"We were looking to take private lessons in Lindy Hop and were referred to Mark and Margot. What a find! Instead of one instructor – we got a team! From our first lesson, it’s been awesome. Mark and Margot are incredibly encouraging and make dancing a TON of fun. Their enthusiasm is simply contagious! It’s a huge benefit to work with a team – you see the steps demonstrated, and both the lead and follow can try out the steps with the instructor as well as their partner. We feel like we hit the jackpot with you two!"</em><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri;"> </span><em style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri;">--</em><em style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri;"></em><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri;">Jordana and TJ</span><br />
