FIREHOUSE SWING SCHOOL UPDATE: Special Workshops on Wed. Dec. 2 & 9!
Due to the Holiday Season, we won't be offering our regular 4-wk Lindy 1 & 2 classes this month. Instead, we're going to have 2 very SPECIAL, very FUN, and very DIFFERENT dance intensives on Dec. 2 & 9.
FIREHOUSE SWING WORKSHOPS FROM 7-8P (DEC. 2 & 9 ONLY!)
SHAG FAST OR SWING SLOW? YOU DECIDE!
Workshop #1: Collegiate Shag Basics & Beyond (with David & Tammy)
Workshop #2: Slow Swing Dancing For Couples (with Meeshi & Friends)
RSVP HERE: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=184331473817
YOU CHOOSE THE SPEED, YOU CHOOSE THE STYLE!!
************************************************************
WORKSHOP #1: COLLEGIATE SHAG BASICS & BEYOND
Anyone fancy a Shag? If you've ever seen cartoons which show dancers pressing their faces and torsos together while their feet move madly underneath them...that's Collegiate Shag. In these all-levels Shag workshops, David and Tammy will introduce you to the basic steps of one of the most popular swing dances of the 1930's.
COST: $15/1-wk, $25/2-wks (held on Wed. Dec. 2 & 9)
WORKSHOP #2: SLOW SWING DANCING FOR COUPLES
Bring out the ROMANCE in your DANCE! After years of helping wedding couples with their first dances, I've learned that couples don't really want to learn dance steps as much as they want to feel connected and express their love for each other on the dance floor. In these beginning level workshops for couples, Meeshi and friends will show you how SWAY, TRAVEL, TURN & DIP in an easy, fluid, connected way to maximize your enjoyment dancing with your beloved partner or good friend.
COST: $25/couple/1-wk, $40/couple/2-wks (held on Wed. Dec. 2 & 9)
NOTE: You must come with a partner. We will not rotate partners in class.
Classes are not-progressive, you may drop-in at anytime!
Cost includes FREE admission to the Firehouse Swing Dance.
QUESTIONS: Contact Meeshi at 858-395-6060 or info@firehouseswing.com _________________
