Swing Dancing, Walker, Balboa lesson 7:30

[Ken T Takusagawa]

We are in Walker Memorial, not the student 
center this week:
 http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=50

* MIT Lindy Hop Society Wednesday Swing Dance
* Wednesday, February 24, Lesson 7:30, Dancing 9-11:30 p.m.
* Walker Memorial 1st floor
  http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=50
* Free, Beginners welcome, No partner necessary
* DJs Ted Simpson and Dustin Spicuzza

At 7:30 before the dance, Joy J. and Bakari will teach the 
fourth lesson of a 4-week Balboa series.  Each class will be 
self-contained; feel free to attend even you have not 
attended previous classes.

In March, Vinay and Eveleen will be teaching 4 swing dancing 
lessons (The teachers on March 9th are TBD).  Each lesson 
will be self contained and taught from the ground up, 
beginners are welcome to attend any or all of the lessons.  
There will likely be a slightly more intermediate concept 
taught at the start of each class, that people who have 
taken classes before can apply during the lesson.  For those 
people who want to do more to get better at swing dancing, 
over the course of the lessons, Vinay will post links here 
to read and practice.

The first link in preparation for the first class is 
something to make your steps and whole body a little more 
controlled.  Try practicing along with this once or twice 
before the first class in March:

If you are an MIT student and would like to help out with
the club, let me know.  I am particularly looking for
occasional help setting up the sound system at the start of
the dance.
