[Ken T Takusagawa]

* MIT Lindy Hop Society Wednesday Blues/Swing Dance
* Wednesday, January 30, Lesson 7:30 Dancing 9-11:30 p.m.
* Lobdell Dining Room, MIT Student Center 2nd floor
* Free, Beginners welcome, No partner necessary
* DJs Ali Connell and Dustin Spicuzza

At 7:30 before the dance, Jan Marie and Stephen and will 
teach the last of a 4-week blues dance series.  Blues dance 
is a style similar to swing dancing that is done to blues 
music - the foundation of all the popular music of today!  
This series will introduce you to the fundamentals of how to 
rock out to this infectious music, both in terms of body 
movement and how to improvise with a partner so everyone has 
a great time!

At 9:00 there will be open dancing.  The first part of the 
dance, probably 45 minutes or so, will be mostly blues 
music.

Next week, February 6, Sarah and Paul will teach a swing 
lesson.

On Saturday, February 23 in the afternoon, we will be 
holding solo & partnered 20's Charleston workshop taught by 
Jan Marie.  Stay tuned for more information.

On Saturday, March 16, MIT ESP runs "Spark", a one-day event 
similar to "Splash" in the fall.  If any MIT students would 
like to teach a swing class to high school and middle school 
students and would like to borrow our sound system, let me 
know.  Register your class with ESP by February 8.  The 
class application form is here:
