Our December series start this Wednesday at The Lindy Project. Since it's December, we are only holding classes on the first 3 weeks of the month - so it's just $30 if you pre-register online (www.thelindyproject.com).
Level 1 @ 7:30 - Fundamentals of Lindy Hop
Level 2 @ 8:45 - Expanding on 8ct and 6ct
Level 3 @ 7:30 - Connection
Workshop @ 8:45 - Competition Workshop Series ***
*** As you may have heard, Lone Star Championships is approaching Jan 25-27th! It's a big social dance extravaganza (similar to an exchange) with social dance competitions like Jack and Jills and Strictlys. So, in December Laura and Scott are preparing a set of classes that will give you an opportunity to to learn more about competition and practice. Learn more about aspects of performing / technique / actual practice of J&Js and Strictlys / personalized feedback / information on what judges are looking for / etc.
While we have named the series "Competition Workshop Series", in actuality, these classes are good for anyone. There will be a large focus on cleaning what you do and making what you do look hot... and less on learning new moves. So, you do NOT have to compete, or be interested in competition, to take this series and get something. And it's open to all those with a handle on the fundamentals of Lindy Hop / Swing / Charleston (Approximately Level 3 at TLP and higher).
See you Wednesday,

One more week until Our October Workshop! (Oct 5th - 7th)
There is just one week left to pre-register for Our October Workshop. The workshop is a 2 night, 2 day extravaganza of classes, dances, and fun! We've flown in teachers from all over the US and it's going to ROCK!
There are two tracks available for you. With each track, you get not only the classes during the day, but also get two great dances on Friday and Saturday night.
For experienced dancers, we have the main track: two days of classes totaling over 12 hours of instruction! There will be multiple classes every hour, ranging from beginner/intermediate all the way up to the very advanced. The pre-requisite is that you feel comfortable with the fundamentals of Lindy Hop. Preregister for the price of $100 (it's $115 at the door).
For those that are new to Lindy Hop, or have never done Lindy Hop, there is a special one-day series of classes. Preregister for only $40! That's over 6 hours of instruction and 2 nights of dancing (one of which to a live band), all for $40. Sweet deal. Price goes up to $55 at the door.
Here is the mini-schedule:
Friday night dance from 8:30-1am
Saturday classes from 10-6pm (beginner track and main track)
Saturday night dance with the Lucky Strikes from 8:30-1am
Sunday classes from 10-6pm (main track)
And then stay later on Sunday night for Soul Jam! at Copa (217 Congress Ave, downtown Austin). All of the teachers will be out having a blast dancing to soul music. So should you! This dance isn't part of the weekend (it's just $5 though).
