Swing Dancing, Lobdell, West Coast Swing Lesson 7:30, Crossover music 9

[Qinxuan Pan]

  *   MIT Lindy Hop Society Wednesday Swing Dance
  *   Wednesday, November 13, Lesson 7:30, Dancing 9-11:30 p.m.
  *   Lobdell Dining Room, Student Center<http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=W20>, 2nd floor
  *   Free, Beginners welcome, No partner necessary
  *   DJs David Zou and Omari Hayles

At 7:30 before the dance, David will teach a West Coast Swing lesson.

After the lesson David will DJ a first set of music maybe starting with some contemporary West Coast Swing songs, but mostly sticking to Lindy songs that are both "Lindy-able" and "West coast-able", with the understanding that the dancers are primarily Lindy/East Coast Swing folks so the playlist will mostly stick to music they typically dance to rather than a typical West Coast Swing playlist.

Next week (11/20) and December 4, Avery and Galen will teach West Coast Swing lessons (with a break for Thanksgiving).

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

Help setting up the dance is super appreciated!  Come at 7 before the lesson starts.

West Coast Swing videos

Galen, the instructor a few weeks ago, sent us some jack and jill (non-choreographed) dances to watch.

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/.
