The Skye and Naomi weekend is almost here! There is a full schedule of activities to keep everyone dancing from Friday evening through Sunday. Great music, great classes and plenty of great local and visiting dancers!
Uptown Swing Dance on Saturday
Join us this Saturday, December 3 for our monthly Uptown Swing Dance. This month we are thrilled to have back the very fabulous Gordon Webster Band with the beautiful vocals of Naomi Uyama! Also featured during the evening will be a demo with Skye and Naomi that you won’t want to miss. Extra for this month, the dance has been extended to run until 12:30am. This is our last Uptown Swing dance of 2011 and we know we’ll be ending on a high note!
The atmosphere is fun and friendly and beginners are very welcome. You do not need to come with a partner. Brookline Tai Chi is a great space with a smooth wood floor and a convenient location on Beacon Street in Brookline. For those taking the T, it is directly across from the Washington Square stop on the Green Line. If you want to come early for dinner or a drink, there are plenty of places nearby. Street parking is free after 8:00pm.

January Lindy Hop Swing Class Session
Plans are set for our first 6 week session of classes in Newton and Boston for 2012!
New classes in Beginner Swing/Intro to Lindy Hop Level 1 and Lindy Hop Level 2 are scheduled in Newton Lower Falls starting Sunday evenings on January 8 and in Boston, Monday evenings on January 9. Both locations are conveniently accessible by car or T with free parking available. It will be possible to make up missed classes at the alternate location and it has been great to see students taking advantage of that.
Also coming up, we have a new class for intermediate to advanced Lindy Hoppers: Partner Charleston, Flashy Variations and Transitions. It will include some cool variations on classic Charleston while also focusing on some fancy transitions. This class will be challenging, energetic and of course a ton of fun! It meets on Sundays in Newton.
Registration is open - Complete class information and registration.
Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend and welcoming our out of town guests!
Happy dancing,
Aurelie & Tony
