Swing Dancing, W20-491, Practice session 8:00

[Ken T Takusagawa]

We are on the 4th floor of the Student Center this week, not 
the normal room.

* MIT Lindy Hop Society Wednesday Swing Dance
* Wednesday, May 14, Practice 8pm, Dancing 9-11:30 p.m.
* Room 491, MIT Student Center 4th floor
* Free, Beginners welcome, No partner necessary
* DJ Ted Simpson

At 8:00 (not 7:30) before the dance, Vinay will lead a 
practice session, not a normal lesson.  He will be there to 
answer questions or give some advice on some simple things 
that you can practice to make your dancing better, and to 
play some music that you can practice to.
  Come with a partner or some friends to practice with, or 
come with the intention of finding someone else who doesn't 
have a partner to practice with.
  If you bring a laptop, and want some 'moves' to practice, 
you can look at these sites to try and find some:

dancing work that you can practice.
