Swing Dancing, Lobdell, lesson 7:30

* MIT Lindy Hop Society Wednesday Swing Dance
* Wednesday, May 8, Lesson 7:30 Dancing 9-11:30 p.m.
* Lobdel Dining Room, MIT Student Center 2nd floor
* Free, Beginners welcome, No partner necessary
* DJs Ted Simpson and Joy Deligianides

At 7:30 p.m. before the dance, Ken the iconoclast will teach
a lesson "Debunking Dance Myths", wherein we will take some
of the traditional "absolute rules" of dancing, "never do
this", "always do this", and show that they are actually
complicated and not necessarily absolute. The class will be
most useful for intermediate and advanced dancers, but the
concepts should be accessible to beginners. We will draw
from both swing dance and blues dance traditions.

DJ and location schedule for May:
May 8 at Lobdell: Ted Simpson and Joy Deligianides
May 15 at Lobby 13: Ali Connell and Dustin Spicuzza
May 22 Location TBA: Stephen York and Tina Desorcy
