Swing Dancing Wednesday Lobdell, Blues Thursday 36-112

[Ken T Takusagawa]

Two dances this week, Wednesday AND Thursday.  FIREWORK 
lesson before Wednesday dance.

* MIT Lindy Hop Society Wednesday night dance
* Wednesday, December 28, Lesson 7:30, Dancing 9-11:30 p.m.
* Lobdell Dining Hall, Student Center 2nd floor
* Free, Beginners welcome, No partner necessary
* DJs Ted Simpson and Foxman James

At 7:30, Joy and Hsiu will teach a "Firework" lesson:
   Have you been wondering if you can do the swing dance moves in a
   dance club?  Want to add some firework to the moves you are already
   doing?

   Hsiu (pronounced Sho) Chang has been dancing since 2003.  He started
   in Raleigh, NC with West Coast Swing.  He has been to numerous
   workshops including Swingout New Hampshire, Beantown, Southwest
   Lindy Festival, and Frankie 95.  At these events, he has always
   thought the best dancing comes out late at night when the DJ would
   play pop songs and dance hits and the teachers would just improvise
   and have fun.

   With the talented Joy Deligianides, they will go over some Six-Count
   advanced beginner moves such as:

   -       Inside Roll and Reverse
   -       Inside Roll and Outside Turn
   -       Stutter Shuffle
   -       The Loop
   -       Barrel Roll
   -       Washing Machine
   -       Mini Dip

   He will then show variations that dancers can use with any song.  He
   will be using Katy Perry's song "Firework" which is nominated for a
   Grammy this year.


And on Thursday...

* MIT Lindy Hop Society Special Thursday blues dance
* Thursday, December 29, Lesson 7:30, Dancing 9-11:30 p.m.
* Building 36, room 112 (50 Vassar St, Cambridge, MA)
  http://whereis.mit.edu/?q=36
* Free, Beginners welcome, No partner necessary

At 7:30 before the dance, Ken will teach a beginner blues 
lesson.

4-week swing lesson series.
