TLP Competes!

Congrats to our very own Laura Glaess! She won first place at Blues Shout earlier this month in the Open Jack and Jill with Dexter Santos. Check out their spotlight below, starting at about 3 minutes in.

TLP Travels!

Congrats to TLP Instructors Mike Roberts and Laura Glaess for winning first place at Boston Tea Party's strictly lindy competition! Way to go guys! Hopefully videos of this awesome competition will be made available soon. We will surely post them if they are.

On another note, April classes start tomorrow! Check out Brooks and Laura's level 4 class: A Different Perspective
This class will cover different connections, different endpoints, different rhythms, different height changes, and all over different dance skillz that not only make you a better leader / follower, but also give you a different perspective on movement and music.
Be prepared to have your minds blown!

2. What is your favorite part of the holiday season?

BROOKS:
1. Family, friends, and Lindy Hop.
2. Pie! Eating lots and lots of pie!

ANGELA:
1. I am thankful for so many things. But the thing I'm most thankful for this year, I can't say, cause it's a secret.
2. Not having to work! Er. And visiting with family and friends.

LAURA:
Thankful for (in no particular order):
1. Frankie being alive as long as he was to show us so many things.
2. For my family and friends having lasted another year
3. For Mike being friggin' awesome (I mean really, guys)
4. For my own good health

Favorite part of the holiday season -- why, seeing family, of course (and Mike not working so I can hang out with him more)!

VANESSA:
I am most thankful for my family: my parents, Scott, and our pups. I love the holiday season. Some of my favorite holiday things are egg nog, pumpkin spice lattes, and cozy slippers.
