Hey everyone! We're proud to announce an All Lindy Weekend- two nights of dancing and a series of classes taught by the wonderful Tim and Sarah! Come on out to work on all those things that make this dance so much fun!

Class 1
Sassy Swivels - How to do them and how to lead them!
Drool-inducing swivels don't just happen. They actually require a technique. Follows will learn the secrets of the trade and leads will actually learn their role in making their follow the envy of the dance floor.

Class 2
Conversations

This month the swing dance class is covering the beginner Lindy Hop and incorporating it with the swing dance that you do know. Joe O'Neil is teaching the beginner class, Jennifer Nye will be teaching beginner styling and Dana Dafter will be teaching intermediate patterns as well as intermediate styling! I hope to see you all there! :-D

This is a high energy fast paced class for experienced Lindy Hoppers. We’ll dive into complex moves and the techniques to take dancing from great to WOW! This is not class for the faint of heart, or those who don’t want to work hard. Drop-ins are welcome.

Note: Dancers need to be comfortable with swingouts and charleston at a variety of tempos. If you aren’t certain if this class will be right for you, please come early (or to Tim & Sarah’s Moves and Technique Class on Wednesdays) and the teachers will evaluate your dancing.

Taught by Tim & Sarah Munsell.

Hal Beach will be DJ'ing a swing dance at Gee's Place Saturday, January 21st. There will be most for all swing dancers including East Coast, West Coast, Shag, Bop, Lindy, and Blues. Between the Jan 14th HSDS dance, The 21st Gee's Place dance, the 28th KCDC dance, and the Feb 4th HSDS dance, you can actually dance four weeks strait! It doesn't happen often in Huntsville so take advantage! See the attached flyer for details.

KCDC will be holding a swing dance January 28th. If you need your dance fix, this is your chance. Snacks and beverages are provided. All swing dancers of every ability level are welcome! Those taking the Wednesday KCDC lesson are especially encouraged to attend and practice their new skills.
