Teach Swing Dancing for Splash!

Attention MIT students:

If you would like to teach a swing dance class to
high-school students for Splash at MIT on November 23 or 24,
the MIT Lindy Hop Society can offer assistance: sound system
and wireless microphones, music, instructor advice,
rehearsal classes (practice teaching), etc. Apply to teach
here:

http://esp.mit.edu/teach/Splash/2013/teacherreg
(deadline September 28 though they often extend it)

and, additionally, let me know what, if any, assistance you
would like from our club.

Splash is a two-day learning extravaganza for high-school
students, organized by the MIT Educational Studies Program.
About 2000 excited kids come to the MIT campus to take
classes taught by the MIT community -- you! See this
website for more information:
http://esp.mit.edu/teach/Splash

Over the years, I've been surprised by the number people
I've met whose first experience with swing dancing in high
school was a class they took at MIT Splash.

Share your love of dance!

20s Charleston Workshop, Saturday

The MIT Lindy Hop Society hosts a 20s Charleston Workshop
taught by Jan Marie!

Saturday, February 23, 2013, 1:30pm - 5:00pm
MIT Building 36, room 112
http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=36

For ladies and gentlemen who want to be the Popeyes and
Olive Oils of modern America... this is the workshop for
you! Jan Marie will give you all the boppity boops, fancy
footwork, and improv techniques you'll need to wow the great
Gatsby and become the modern cat's meow.

NO PREVIOUS DANCE EXPERIENCE ASSUMED! Workshops appropriate
for dancers of all levels.

1:30 - 2:30 | Solo Charleston: Balancing The Bounce

A perfect Charleston begins with perfect balance and a
steady pulse. Then we'll add on basic footwork variations,
including kicks, as well as arm variations. Then we'll work
on traveling, rotation, one-legged movements, and syncopated
rhythm variations.

2:40 - 3:40 | Solo Charleston: Beyond The Bounce

Here you'll take the kicks you learned and turn them into
kick-throughs, your knee lifts into knee slaps, your kick
downs into push kicks, and more! We will also learn to
incorporate other classic 20's movements such as the Suzie
Q, Bee's Knees, and Hallelujahs.

3:50 - 4:50 | Partnered Charleston: Two Bodies, One Bounce

Putting everything you've learned thus far together with a
mirror image. We'll learn how to connect in a comfortable
but controlled frame, to move gracefully with a partner, and
to give and read signals of change in direction, rotation,
and vernacular.

4:50 - 5:00 | Q&A

Question and answer session.

Cost

General - $20 for all 3 classes, or $10 per class
Students (non-MIT) - $15 for all 3 classes, or $8 per class
MIT Students/Staff - FREE!!!!!!!!
