Intro to Awesome
Polish Cadets Hall, 927 Grant Street, Buffalo, NY 14222
Created by: Buffalo Swing
7:00 - 8:00 Tuesday December 6th 2011
Have you ever gotten REALLY into some music and couldn't help but move to it? Do you ever then get the feeling that you wished you knew how to express that feeling through your movement more? Well, I'd like to introduce you to our new class "Intro to Awesome"! From November 8th to December 13th at 7pm (Tuesdays before Lindy Fix), we'll be giving you the tips and insider-dancer-knowledge that will make you the most fun and sought-after partner on the dance floor. People will KNOW you're having a good time, because you'll have all the moves and finesse of the best dancers out there. You can preregister for Intro to Awesome and SAVE. We're running a pre-registration special: $35 for 6, 1hr classes! Plus, you get $4 off your Lindy Fix entry for the duration (with the preregistration discount, that's $31 total you save!). And note, Lindy Fix usually only costs $4 unless we have a band, so most times, you'll get in free! If you don't preregister, the class will be $42 for 6 weeks at the door or $10 to drop-in on just 1 class.

Beginner Jitterbug Lesson 8-8:30
This is the one and only lindy event in Buffalo and it's located on the up-and-coming Grant Street area. Buffalo is finally on its way to establishing a lindy scene. For those of you who don't know, Lindy Hop is a form of swing dancing that came about in the late 20s and early 30s. It went through a resurgence in the mid to late 90s and is going strong across the US and dozens of other countries. Swing dances featuring lindy are a very social event. Everyone dances with everyone, though it's not typically a dating venue. Swing is a lifestyle based on the pure joy of dance: focussed on fun. So bring your spirits and prepare to smile! Beginners are not only wanted, they are required! We need you to make this happen!
DJ'd swing music will feature Big Band, classic swing like the Rat Pack & Ella, Blues, & other popular contemporary swing music.
Lesson taught by Sam & Sylbie.
