No Jam tonight! But plenty of fantastic advertisements for upcoming things.
No Jam Cellar this week!
Next Month's Class: Lindy Hop Performance CHOREOGRAPHY!
Our Jam Cellar Crew (mostly Bobby and Kate) will spend 8-full weeks teaching a performance choreography complete with aerials and other fancy moves. Why learn a performance choreography?!? First off, because you'll perform it. Several times, if you wish, at the Jam Cellar and at Glen Echo dances. Group performances are also a great opportunity to work on your uptempo dancing, learn how to do solid and good looking aerials, and learn how to show off a little. We will also build the sort of team comradery one only finds in combat. This performance should test intermediate dancers and advanced dancers alike. The two months of classes cost only $95, saving you over $25 in Jam Cellar class value. Classes begin Jan. 5th. 8:30-9:30 p.m.
Next Week: No Jam Cellar!
Inter/Adv Lindy Hop Boot Camp! MOVED to Saturday, Jan. 9. ALL THE DETAILS!
***By the way, we currently have a few more follows than leads, so if you're a lead, who's interested, please contact Bobby (email below).***This special 2-hour class was scheduled for Dec. 19, but we had to cancel on account of the sudden blizzard that fell on my car. So, we moved it to Saturday Jan. 9. It's an intense experience that intermediate and advanced Lindy Hoppers have never had before. Run by fancy world traveling swing dance instructors Bobby and Kate, we'll play rhythm games, we'll show you how to critique your own dancing, and talk about the heart of great dancing, things that are rarely done in classes. We'll do drills of all sorts; speed drills, creative drills, aerial drills. We'll show you how to be a better solo dancer, and how to work in a team. We'll show you how to practice on your own, and with a partner. Our goal is to basically make you improve so much during a two-hour group practice session, that you won't be able to wipe the smile from your next partner's face. Saturday, Jan. 9, 2-4 p.m. at the DC Dance Collective (4908 Wisconsin Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20016–right down the street from Chevy Chase Ballroom. AND BE AWARE, THE STUDIO'S SIGN IS HARD TO SEE AND IT'S ENTRANCE IS BELOW STREET LEVEL. IT'S JUST A FEW DOORS DOWN FROM THE GAS STATION) . Price is $20 per student. If the students can comfortably hang at the inter/adv Jam Cellar classes, they will be perfect for this class. We will NOT be covering swing-out technique, except where it applies to other areas of our discussion. If you plan on attending, email him (robertwhiteiii AT gmail DOT com, you will have to reformat for your email) or sign up at the Jam Cellar.
