Epic Swing Night May 12th

featuring Hunter Demaray, Audrey Kanemoto, and Clint Baker's New Orleans Jazz Band

Epic Swing Night in May celebrates the Epic RETURN of Hunter Demaray! Hopefully you've seen him out dancing around the bay area and have already noticed or remembered a few things about Hunter:

He's fun to dance with.
He likes dancing fast.
He's got really nice lines.

There's obviously more but, to that effect, Hunter will be teaching two classes on May 12th. The first will be a 2 hour intensive class on FAST LINDY! We believe Lindy Hop was meant to be done at blazing speeds and we'll get you feeling that exhilaration! The second class will be all about using your body and making fun expressive interesting or beautiful lines together! Shape your Lindy Hop! Both classes are for intermediate and above level dancers. Everyone can learn these concepts no matter what level you are, but we will split the rotations by level.

If the choice of movie wasn't obvious enough already from the poster, we're going to take it up a notch, and make the theme of the dance "Enchantment Under the Sea." That's right people, get ready all of your best 1950's style dance wear.

Check out our Epic Schedule:

4:30-6:30 = Epic Fast Lindy Class
6:30-8:00 = Epic Jazz Lecture & Dinner
8:00-9:00 = Epic Lindy Lines Class
9:00-12:00 = Epic Swing Dance with
Clint Baker's New Orleans Jazz Band!

Alisa Clancy from KCSM Jazz 91.1 will be back to give an Epic Jazz Lecture regarding a mysterious topic: "The Women Instrumentalists: Making them Visable."

Clint Baker's New Orleans Jazz Band comes back home and drives us to dance all night long. These guys are amazing. We hope to be getting more information about Clint and the rest of the band on the website soon, so stay tuned.

Epic Swing Night – April 14th

featuring Stefan & Bethany, Macy Blackman and the Mighty Fines

For the first time, Epic Swing Night will fly in super-duper, world-renowned lindy hoppers to teach the workshop classes! Stefan Durham and Bethany Powell, two of the most beloved lindy hoppers in the world, continue to cultivate a unique style born from a kind of pure inspiration and love for not only appreciation of Lindy Hop's amazing legacy, but the spirit of improvisation and interpretation of the music from which it came in the first place. Stefan and Bethany are true artists. Don't take our word for it; check them out on youtube and see for yourselves.

(Now that we've finished it, can you guess which movie it is inspired from?)

Check out our Epic Schedule:

4:30-5:30 = Epic Advanced Lindy Hop
5:30-6:30 = Epic Intermediate+ Solo Jazz
6:30-8:00 = Epic Jazz Lecture & Dinner
8:00-9:00 = Epic (invite only) Master's Class
9:00-12:00 = Epic Swing Dance with Macy Blackman and the Mighty Fines!

It will be Duke Ellington's birthday on April 29th so we will celebrate with another jazz lecture by Alisa Clancy from 91.1 KCSM! For Ellington's birth month the topic will be "An Ellington Birthday Party!"

Epic Swing Night proudly presents Macy Blackman and the Mighty Fines! They have been rocking the house recently at Cat's Corner in San Francisco and we can't wait to hear more of their unique amalgamation of New Orleans Jazz and 50s R&B on our newly warmed floor at the San Mateo Masonic Lodge.
