Homework
What a fun choreography by Fabien Vrillon and Lisa Clarke! Their personal style is strong and they seamlessly incorporate solo moves into their partnered dancing. If you would like to become more confident in your own personal style, today is the day to sign up for the 6:30 solo series. I spotted at least four solo moves in this video that will be taught this month. 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.
If you are wanting to learn Lindy Hop (the dance that these two are doing) you are in luck! Two of our veteran teachers, Evan and Sonya,  are on duty for our Beginning Lindy Hop  this month.
Sign up for this 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!

Spend your Valentines Day with some of your favorite local dancers. There will be a vintage variety show, followed by a dance. We have a limited number of tickets for sale.

Valentines Variety Show

Favorite music

This week's song is related to the little video below. A whole album of remakes for your listening pleasure. If you do not have Spotify, I highly recommend looking up Post Modern Jukebox in the format that you do use.

Vintage Clips: 

This week I bring you a modern clip done with a vintage feel. This group is taking old and making new in such a fun way. If you enjoy this, then take a stroll through their other youtube videos.

We are in the thick of winter and traipsing through the snow. Lets try and keep that snow off the dance floor. If you are able to wear different shoes outside and change into the shoes that you are going to dance in once you get inside, we would greatly appreciate it. If you are wondering about good dance shoes, many of us wear Keds. I have found them at Kohls and JC Pennys. 

See you next week!
