Hey Swing Dancers, WE NEED YOUR HELP! Aside from our regular Lindy 1 & 2 classes from 7-8p, we aren't sure which class to offer for our 8-9p Specialty Class in February. Please vote for the class option YOU'D like to take. Both options are geared for Lindy 2 dancers and up.
OPTION #1: CHARLESTON RUEDA -- Inspired by the Salsa Rueda, this fun routine covers the 4-basic Charleston positions (30's Side, Hand-to-Hand, 20's, Shadow) through a fun, partner-trading circle dance. We'll cover the moves through 2:08 in the video below (there's a lot of repetition, so it's not that long).

OPTION #2: CALIFORNIA ROUTINE -- This is the classic Lindy routine made famous by Whitey's Lindy Hoppers in the 1930's & 40's. We'll cover the moves through 0:45 in the video below.
