Swing Dancing, Sala, Lesson 7:30

[Ken T Takusagawa]

Happy new year.  Alana and I will teach a experimental 
swing/tango fusion class at 7:30 p.m.

* MIT Lindy Hop Society Wednesday night dance
* La Sala de Puerto Rico (MIT Student Center 2nd floor)
* Wednesday, January 2, Lesson 7:30, Dancing 9:00-11:30 p.m.
* http://mit.edu/swing
* with DJ Ajayi Harris

At 7:30 p.m., Alana and I will teach a swing/tango fusion 
class, merging elements of Argentine tango, blues, and swing 
into one cohesive dance.  This will be a highly experimental 
class, both in its subject matter, and as a pedagogical 
experiment -- we've never taught anything like this.

Coming next week!

During MIT's Independent Activities Period, (January 9, 16, 
23, 30), Andrea and Lauren will teach RAVISHING RED HOT 
LINDY: "Being a beginner dancer doesn't have to keep you in 
your dorm room. We'll put an end to those cold, lonely 
winter nights, in January. Andrea and Lauren will be your 4 
weeks of redheaded fun, on the dancefloor. This class will 
introduce you to Lindy Hop and Charleston. Both of these 
energetic partnered dances were created in the 1940s to Big 
Band and Jazz music."

Weeks 1 & 2 will teach Lindy Hop basics.
Week 3 will teach Charleston basics.
Week 4 will meld Lindy and Charleston and give you some extra snazzy moves.
**Each class will build on the previous week.
**Starting from Week 1 is recommended, but not required.

Coming soon in FEBRUARY:

Nina and Dan will return to teach a 4-week Beginner Lindy 
Hop series.
