We want to hear what you think. If you have an idea let us know. Got a concern on your mind, lay it on us. We want your experience to be fun and worry free.

Inspiration
Kevin St. Laurent and Jo Hoffberg have wonderful musicality and body movement. I also love Jo's connection to the audience and Kevin. They make wonderful performers. I don't recall ever taking classes from them, but I really want to. Turns out they will be in Austin for a workshop weekend January 22nd. Who wants to go?!?! There are so many moves in this routine that I would love to learn how to do. Learning these moves is fun, applying the moves at the right moment to express something musical that you are hearing, is magical. Come learn some intermediate Lindy Hop moves tonight at 6:30. Drop in price for the class is $6 and $8.

Favorite music

This week's song is a whole album of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. Swing dancing has it's roots in Jazz. The more jazz that you listen to the better. Go ahead and set this to play in the background. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon.
