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!
