It's not on the schedule below, but rest assured that Nate and Kate are teaching lindy hop before Lindy Fix THIS Tuesday starting at 7! You know you want to do those cool moves you see on the dance floor, so why not lay a foundation to give your dancing that extra something? Also, if you're interested in carpooling to ABW, let us know you're going! It's only a 3.5 hour drive. Why not go to the biggest Balboa event in the world ever?

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 coutries. Swing dances featuring lindy are a very social event. Everyone dances with everyone, though it's not typicslly 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 and Kate.
