Taster class and Mama's Stew Routine

Coming up on 4th September: ****** FREE beginner taster class 7:30 pm at St Michael's School Hall, 249 Durham St****** As usual before starting the next set of classes we have a free taster class for beginners to come and give lindy hop a go with Molly and Rachel, before committing to a full set. All welcome, no partner or experience necessary, and no obligation to sign up for a set, so why not invite your friends along! We'd also love to see some of our existing dancers join us at the taster, or at the social dance afterwards to help any new dancers catch some proper Swingtown good vibes. ********* Mama's Stew! Solo jazz routine, 7:30 pm at Papa Hou (Level 2 studio at the Kind Foundation building on Hereford St******* Come and Jenn will be taking us through this fast paced stomper of a routine that honours the late great Mama Lu Parks (https://swungover.wordpress.com/2023/12/21/mama-lu/) and her contribution to Lindy Hop history and community. Although short, this routine is not for the faint hearted and we'll be cranking up the tempo so come prepared to get hot and sweaty! Previous experience of solo jazz recommended (heads up squat charlestons are involved if you want a head start https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDz3QkutnHE). Remember: bring a fresh top for social, deodorant and water bottle recommended! Please note: if the door is locked when you get there please go to the side entrance by the courtyard and press the buzzer and someone will let you in.
