Swing dancing, Building 36, Lesson 7:30 Dancing 9 (back to normal time schedule)

[Qinxuan Pan]

We are back to the normal time schedule (no longer the shortened summer dances)! 7:30 lesson, 9:00 dancing.

  *   MIT Lindy Hop Society Wednesday Swing Dance
  *   Wednesday, August 21, Lesson 7:30, Dancing 9-11:30 p.m.
  *   Building 36, room 112 http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=36
  *   Free, Beginners welcome, No partner necessary
  *   DJs Jodi Daynard and Tim Manning

At 7:30 before the dance, Harsh and Omari will teach a lesson on improvisational footwork and tons of other beginner moves.

Our room this week is a classroom in Building 36, which is smaller than our usual rooms (our usual rooms are in use by freshmen orientation).  This room has a tendency to get quite warm.

Next week (August 28), Morgan and Ken will teach a beginner swing lesson with emphasis on moves that work on a small dance floor.

Would anyone like to teach a future lesson?  Share your love of dance!

If anyone is available to help us set up the dance, meet at W20-437 (our storage room) at 6:30 pm.

Future Dance Locations

MIT Dance Policy

MIT strives to provide an actively all-inclusive, supportive environment for everyone, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, sex, religion, nationality, disability, political orientation, age, national or ethnic origin and/or race (Collectively, the "protected classes"). As a result, MIT Lindy Hop welcomes all dancers and expects everyone to treat each other with respect, regardless of age, ability, physical appearance, lifestyle, dance experience or dance role.

To that end, MIT Lindy Hop Society reserves the right to take action against any person whose conduct is contrary to this environment of inclusiveness. Using our discretion, any dancer that we reasonably determine has violated MIT's non-discrimination policy in the treatment of any other dancer in any way, may be permanently banned from participation in MIT Lindy Hop Society activities. Potentially actionable conduct may include, but is not limited to:

  *   Verbal insults, jokes, comments, or micro-aggressions that leaves another dancer feeling marginalized based on their status as a member of a protected class.
  *   Sexually inappropriate, coercive, or manipulative conduct that overtly or covertly circumvents the other person's right to consent. This includes unwanted sexual touching on the dance floor, as well as coercive and inappropriate behaviors during a dance or dance event.

Any dancer who feels that their safety or comfort is being threatened, or has witnessed intimidating or inappropriate behavior is encouraged to contact the MIT Lindy Hop officers (lindy-society-officers at mit.edu<mailto:lindy-society-officers at mit.edu>) or the MIT Violence Prevention and Response Hotline (617- 253-2300), or seek further assistance in reporting or resources available to the MIT community: https://titleix.mit.edu/.?
