Richards Hall. Directions to Richards are at

As with last semester, the dance is co-hosted by the MIT
Lindy Hop Society and the Dudley Arts Council, and there
will be a *FREE* (yes, free) beginners' swing/lindy lesson
by the famous Andrew Stein from 7:30-8:30 pm. There will be
open dancing for all levels afterwards until 11:30 pm. The
dance is an inter-university event (Harvard, MIT, Tufts, UNH
and more) so everyone is welcome - feel free to invite
friends.
Time: Wednesday, March 5 (and subsequent "first
Wednesdays" of the month). 7:30-8:30 pm: lesson; 8:30-11:30
pm: open swing dancing.

What: 1 hour beginner-level lesson - with some cool new and
different moves covered.
Wednesday, March 12th and 19th, MIT:
7:00-7:30 PM: Beginner lesson. We'll try to help you learn
how to dance to a full 3-minute song in 30 minutes, so that
you can participate in the main lesson even if you're new to
swing.
7:30-9:00 PM: Intermediate lesson. During these 2 Wednesday
lessons, we'll explore a some of the more interesting moves
and some techniques of swing improvisation. It's kind of
like improvisational comedy, but without all those pesky
proctologist jokes.
Of course, the whole idea of these lessons is to have as
much fun dancing as humanly possible. So wear your Fun
Caps, your Exciting Pants, and your Enjoyment Suspenders,
and come learn to swing in some Krazy new ways.
Other upcoming MIT Lindy Hop Society news:
Next week (March 12), the dance will return to MIT.
We have no lessons scheduled yet for March 26 and onwards.
