ESN Jan 28 Class Descriptions

Hey! Class descriptions from Pat Wall and Ann Mony are here! Check it out:

6:15 - 7:15 Advanced Lindy: Movement and Momentum!
Ever wonder how some dancers make their simple moves look so good? The simple secret to this is using the natural momentum of Lindy Hop in all your moves and to keep the dance flowing. We will take some simple moves and break down how to make them look and feel wonderful.

7:15 - 8:00 Lecture: Trumpet Stars of the 30s and 40s!
Alisa Clancy brings the stars out this night as we explore the sweet sounds of the trumpet masters! Don't forget that this lecture is included in the price of your classes or dance admission, so come on in and enjoy this special treat. If you are signed up for at least one of the classes, please also join us for pizza dinner.

8:00 - 9:00 Intermediate Lindy: Break it Up!
Having a hard time handling musical breaks in your Charleston? In this class we will work on inserting breaks into all areas of traditional Charleston positions (side by side, hand to hand, tandem, etc) and how to transition smoothly in and out of them.

CRITIQUE SESSIONS

6:15-7:15 Intermediate Critique Session
8:00-9:00 Advanced Critique Session
Nathan and Audrey will only be taking 6 leaders and 6 followers in each of these Critique Sessions in order to watch or dance with each couple or individual. This is a great way shake things up and rock your Lindy world. It is valuable to hear from your teachers and peers what they think you are doing well and what you might need more work on.

Why, yes, we *did* stagger the critique sessions so that you can do this AND get some level appropriate time in with Pat and Ann! Thank you for noticing!

Make sure to pre-register online - prices go up at the door!
