Happy September! Yes the weather has been dismal, but we can still have hope that there are some summery days ahead. In any case, we have much else to look forward to on the dance front and it will be good to see everyone back out at the dances and classes.The dance calendar is filled with everything back in full force! We had fun starting up our new session of classes and it was great to see a nice mix of new and familiar faces:-)

New Session Lindy Hop/Swing Classes: Join Second Week
Also on Sunday in Newton, we have a new class for intermediate to advanced Lindy Hoppers called Breaking Out of Your Basics. Each class we’ll be working with “themes” of moves or variations that have some similarity, designed to experience subtle changes in leading and following to create different things, challenging for both leaders and followers! This class will be excellent for those wanting to work on partner connection who enjoy experimenting and playing with new possibilities. Everyone had a good time at the first class and we are really looking forward to a fun session! For this class, more followers would especially add nicely!
Please let us know if you are planning on joining any of the classes or submit an on-line registration. Thanks!
