Tonight: Roots and Offshoots! TAP DANCING
We're bringing back one of the most popular classes we've done in the history of Jam Cellar, complete with the original staff: a celebration of dances that inspired Lindy Hop, and dances Lindy Hop inspired. We've got a week of Tap with Heidi Schultz(April 20), and a week of African Dance with Chanda Lupunga Phillips (April 27). $55 for entire series; $15 drop-ins.
Did we mention we need volunteers?
The Jam Cellar LLC (A Subsidiary of Swing Cat Daddy-O Productions) currently seeks several Close-Down Volunteer Coordinators. Duties include orchestrating crew of volunteers to move speakers, pick up debris, and other duties.* Coordinators will be trained and only expected to close down one or two Tuesdays a month. We are also on the lookout for other volunteer slots as well, all of which involve some form of compensation. Contact huh @ thejamcellarDOTcom
May Inter/Adv Series: What You Need
Sometimes what you want is what you need. Sometimes, it's the opposite. Sometimes what you need is to not want. But we're not philosophers. We're just dance teachers. Teachers who plan on giving you what you need: a month-long series devoted to making our intermediate/adv dancers the best damned inter/advanced dancers in the world. Both leaders and followers will go through a boot-camp style fix of their weaknesses, and a hard-core Tony-Horton-inspired workout of their strengths. $55 for entire series; $15 drop-ins.
