Holiday Swing Dance, Lobdell, lesson 7:30
* MIT Lindy Hop Society Holiday Swing Dance
* Wednesday, December 12, Lesson 7:30 Dancing 9-11:30 p.m.
* Lobdell Dining Room, MIT Student Center 2nd floor
* Free, Beginners welcome, No partner necessary
* DJ Ted Simpson
At 7:30 before the dance, Joy and Hsiu will teach a swing lesson: "The date is 12/12/2012, it is the triple twelve, so the lesson will be three sequences that you can chain together and impress your co-workers at your Christmas Party. This will be East Coast Swing only, no 8 count swing out knowledge required."
Hsiu (pronounced Sho) Chang has been dancing since 2003. He started in Raleigh, NC with West Coast Swing. He has been to numerous workshops including Swingout New Hampshire, Beantown, Southwest Lindy Festival, and Frankie 95. At these events, he has always thought the best dancing comes out late at night when the DJ would play pop songs and dance hits, and the teachers would just improvise and have fun.
Music has always been a significant part of Joy's life growing up, but she didn't start swing dancing until about two years ago, at which point in time she just absorbed East Coast Swing and Lindy Hop like a sponge absorbs water. She enjoys learning new things and sharing her passion for swing dancing!

Wednesday, December 12: Holiday swing with Ted Simpson,

Re: This Saturday -- Blues: Solo, Riffin', & Cuttin' Workshops
NOTE updated class times. Workshop starts at 12:30,
30 minutes earlier than previous announcement.
Blues: Solo, Riffin', & Cuttin' Workshops with Jan Marie
Saturday, December 8, 2012
MIT Building 36, room 112
MAP: http://whereis.mit.edu/?q=36
Classes are appropriate for both swing and blues dancers
alike.
Solo Blues Moves & Isolations (12:30 - 1:30 p.m.)
We'll dig into some key solo moves, which may include:
fishtails, shimmies, shake n' bake, the mooche, the grind,
slides, pops, mess-arounds, or the James Brown. Time
permitting, we will also learn to dance only isolated parts
of our body, to really let that "deep shoulder action"
shine!
Riff It... Riff It Good... (1:45 - 2:45 p.m)
We'll cover the four fundamental components of call &
response blues dancing, then learn to work in our solo
movements and isolations to incite our partner's
creativity. You'll be expressively riffing off one another
by the end of class!
The Jam Circle: Demystified (3:00 - 4:00 p.m.)
This is the most fun you will have all day: guaranteed.
Everything you've learned about solo/call & response
dancing gets put to the test... and everyone comes out a
winner. Learn the basics of solo cuttin' etiquette, then
battle your classmates for practice and hilarity abounding!
Feedback/Q&A (4:00 - 4:30 p.m.)
Jan Marie will be sticking around for an extra half-hour to
answer any lingering questions you have about class
content! Feel free to stay and dance amongst yourselves,
get feedback, and ask any questions you need.
Pricing:
MIT Students: FREE!!!!!!!!!!!! (with student ID)
General: $10 per class OR $20 for the full day (3 classes +
Q&A session)
About Jan Marie:
Whether dancing, teaching, organizing, or singing a ditty
or two, Jan Marie has been active in the blues & swing
communities for the past six years. As a teacher, Jan Marie
focuses on helping students develop self-awareness, musical
movement, and communicative connection-- rather than just
patterns and steps. She strives to empower students to
define and assert their own dance voices in partnered
movement.

About Jan Marie:
Whether dancing, teaching, organizing, or singing a ditty
or two, Jan Marie has been active in the blues & swing
communities for the past six years. As a teacher, Jan Marie
focuses on helping students develop self-awareness, musical
movement, and communicative connection-- rather than just
patterns and steps. She strives to empower students to
define and assert their own dance voices in partnered
movement.
