In April, we are planning some special workshops instead of our regular Basic and Intermediate courses:
Shim Sham Workshop with Karen - Tuesday April 12. 7.15-8.15PM
The Shim Sham is an easy and fun classic routine, originally a tap routine. Today it is danced by Lindy Hoppers all over the world, and recalls the roots of both tap and swing era rhythm. Beginners welcome - no previous experience required. $100.
Global Shim Sham for Frankie Manning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_k_BIA_unI
Come and learn it, and join us when we dance the Shim Sham at our socials!

Tranky Doo Workshop with Karen
Part I - Tuesday April 12. 8.30-9.30PM.
Part II - Tuesday April 19. 7.15-8.15PM.
The Tranky Doo is another classic routine that is even more fun than it sounds! Lindy Hoppers will often begin this routine at social events and, much like the Shim Sham, individuals will join in once they recognise its beginning moves. Beginner-intermediate level and above. You can do Part I by itself but you will need to attend Part I in order to attend Part II. $100 per Part. See the Tranky Doo performed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPghQy1OViI

I Swing Both Ways with Karen & Sergey - Tuesday April 19. 8.20-9.30PM
Be ambidancetrous! Lindy Hop is a shared dance and both lead and follow roles are equally important. In this special class, leads will follow and follows will lead, starting from simple movement. You'll understand the mechanics of connection and communication much better once you have been on the other side! Plus, you'll gain insights into your own dancing and a new respect for your partner. Expect lots of laughs! Intermediate level and above. $100.
