Swing Dancing, Lobdell, Blues lesson 7:30

[Ken T Takusagawa]

Halle and Cameron will teach a blues lesson before the dance.

* MIT Lindy Hop Society Wednesday night dance
* Wednesday, December 3, Lesson 7:30 Dancing 9-11:30 p.m.
* Lobdell Cafeteria (MIT Student Center 2nd floor)
* Free, Beginners welcome, No partner necessary
* DJ Ajayi Harris

At 7:30 before the dance, Halle Ritter and Cameron Linder 
will teach the first week of a 3-week Beginner and 
Intermediate blues series.  Cameron writes:

    I've got a great lesson plan written up that is sure to engage and
    challenge even experienced dancers while being focused on those
    new to the blues dancing genre.  The lesson is open to all
    abilities, even people who have no lead follow experience.

    With this kind of time slot, I will start the lesson by spending
    time on lead/follow technique, with new ways to look at basic
    lead-follow fundamentals, drawing on my ballroom, swing, blues,
    and tango experience.  This knowledge really helps a dancer
    looking to blues dance or even people who are looking to fuse
    different dances together.
