Homework
Todd Yannacone and Pamela Gaizutyte start off this piece with some beginning Lindy Hop moves. Moves that you can learn in January in our beginning Lindy Hop class. Todd and Pamela then flow into a delightful composition of intermediate and advanced moves. I adore Pamela's personal styling choices. You can tell that she has done a fair amount of solo dancing because she is comfortable adding fun little steps into her partnered dancing.
If you have already taken the beginning Lindy Hop class a time or two, January also offers a class that will teach you a solo choreography in a group setting. All of the moves that you learn in this class can be added to your partner dancing. All skill levels are encouraged to take this class.
Sign up for these 6:30 series classes at the front desk.

Travel Opportunities:

If you're looking to meet more dancers and skyrocket your skills, there's no better way to do it than by traveling to some regional events! 


Rock Chalk Swing in Lawrence KS, Feb 27-March 1st.  I will be selling this one hard. They have great instructors and it is sooooo close. I saw that we caravan up there!

Favorite music

This week's song is Santa Claus is Coming to Town by Ella Fitzgerald. Swinging Christmas tunes just feels right at this time of year. Ella Fitzgerald is my all time, number one, favorite vocalist.  

This month's music brought to you by...

Vintage Clips: 

Judy Garland and Gene Kelly are iconic. The style that oozes out of these two is contagious. I have already noticed three moves in this clip that are in the solo choreography class offered in January.  Now, if you are anything like me, you will spend the next hour going down the youtube rabbit hole of Gene Kelly and Judy Garland.  Enjoy.

If you enjoyed this clip, and would like to spend your Valentines Day gazing upon a Vintage Swing Variety show, you are in luck! Talk to Chelsea to purchase tickets. 

See you next week!
