We have some new additions to the HSDS family. Thats right. New speakers! Gabe and Huy both bought new speakers in the last week as well as associated paraphernalia. Gabe picked up a pair of Behringer 208D speakers as well a Behringer x1204usb mixer to power them. Huy picked up the bigger set, a pair of Behringer 212d speakers with a Behringer 1204usb mixer to run them from. They also split multiple Behringer Mics between them.
Now that the school year is back in session, classes are moving to Tuesday and back to the University Fitness Center. This way we can do not just a beginner class, but an intermediate as well! Huy and Tabitha will be bringing new and beginner dancers in to the fold while also teaching new moves and advanced concepts. The beginner class starts at 6:30 and the intermediate at 7:30.

Thanks everybody for a wildly successful weekend! We had a great turn out for the workshop and all of the dances!
Thank you to everyone that came out to the carousel at Bridge Street to dance Friday night! The weather looked pretty worrisome, however it broke at the last minute and we had a cool, clear night to dance. There were a ton of people that came out and danced under the lights. Thanks to Paul and Huy for DJ'ing!

Saturday Beginner Lesson: Beginning Lindy Hop
Lindy Hop is a dance based on a fantastic single move: the swingout. This class is designed to get you swinging out comfortably as soon as possible! Breanna and Huy will teach you all you need to know about triple steps, the swingout pattern, leading and following, and even a few simple moves to throw into your dance. This is where the fun all starts!
Breanna Perry
Breanna loves pretty much everything about pretty much every vintage jazz/vernacular folk/really old/swing-era dance there is, ever. Goofy animal dances? She loves 'em. Swingin' out hard and fast? Just try and stop her. Messing around with chuggy charleston patterns? She can't get enough. Melty and stretchy blues dances, long-legged peabody, fancy-footed balboa, she enjoys all of it. And one of her favorite things is when she gets the chance to share all of those favorite things with other people! In classes, she's known to focus on technique in a nerdy way, such as comparing dancers' arms to triangles' hypotenuses or trying to air-graph movement intensities. Breanna's absolute favorite, though, is when everyone just gets together to thrown down and have fun!
Swing Dancers, too long have we ignored the plight of those who cannot swing. Now is our chance to do something about it! I give you, ZERO TO SWING! We will bring swing to those who do not have it! Help us find the yearning, the willing! We will show them the joy that is swing dance!

Reuel Reis & Huy Huynh
June 3-5, 2011
Lindy Hop - Solo Jazz - Charleston - Performance & More!
We are happy to be bringing Reuel Reis and Huy Huynh to Atlanta, together with some of your favorite local instructors, for a fun-filled weekend of workshops and social dancing!
Just because you aren't goingto the Hop Shop doesn't mean you can't dance like it. ASEDA will be having the Hop Shop main dance in the beautiful Georgia Tech Ballroom with Taryn and the Wednesday Quintet. If you like BIG dances, this will be the place to be! And you'll even have Michael Gamble and our local Huy Huynh DJ'ing the breaks!
Ok, a few things I kinda didn't put in the newsletter.
1. Huy and Tabitha are starting beginning lindy tonight at the UFC. (Yes, I know it's raining.) A lot of people have said they feel like their basics are a bit rusty. Here's your chance to practice them. While beginners are learning the basic, it's your chance to clean up your fundamentals with zero pressure. Also, if you have friends that want to start dancing, tell them to get out tonight. This is their chance to start at square 1.
We have some new additions to the HSDS family. Thats right. New speakers! Gabe and Huy both bought new speakers in the last week as well as associated paraphernalia. Gabe picked up a pair of
