Thanks
to those who showed up to make Lindy Fix a great success despite
the
icy roads! I hope everyone had a
good time and a safe drive home.
The next
Lindy Fix will be January 28th.
However, I've made
arrangements
to make this a weekly event thereafter.
To make it
weekly,
I will need some volunteers to help with things such as DJ'ing,
snacks,
and water. If you're interested,
just email me back. I'm also
going
to look into setting up a class series so we can get everyone
lindy
hopping & bal'ing in no time!
I hope you'll all come back for
the
next Lindy Fix! Spread the word
and Lindy Fix will grow!
Don't
miss the first US Swing Practice of the semester tomorrow!

The
Lindy Hop is the original high-energy partnered jazz dance,
invented
in the late 1920's Harlem and popularized in the '30s and
'40s.
We can't wait to have you join us for this exciting five week
series!
We'll focus on \"basic\" Lindy Hop moves for the inexperienced
beginners,
but break them down and work on perfecting them for the more
experienced
swing dancers. (Basic Swing Dance experience required)

If
you've never been introduced to swing dancing, or if it's been
awhile,
or if you'd like to re-orient your existing swing knowledge
towards
Lindy Hop, then this is the class for you! In this five week
series,
we'll focus on simple moves and rhythms that are common to all
forms
of swing dancing... but with the goal of preparing you to move on
to
Lindy Hop!
