Same schedule for class/dance
7:00-8:30pm Intro To Lindy Hop Class ($10 includes dance admission)
8:30-1:00am DJ’ed Dance with nationally known Swing DJs Shana and John ($5)

We have new series of Lindy Hop classes starting Monday May 5th in Boulder. If this is your first time taking a swing dance class, or if you’re a seasoned dancer, we have a level of instruction for you.

Lindy 1a starts from the beginning with rhythms and gets you comfortable with basics, circle, side by side Charleston. Take this class if you’re brand new, or if this is your second month taking classes with us.

Lindy 2a will give you more vocabulary to get out on the dance floor without having to do 8 moves all night long - as a leader, your followers will admire your new moves, and as a follower, your leaders will be psyched that you follow more of the patterns/movement they’ve been learning in class. Take this class if you’ve taken Lindy 1a and 1b and are solid with all of the patterns taught there.

Lindy 3 is ongoing and is the class that studies more advanced topics in movement, vocabulary, rhythm, and musicality. This class is by permission of the instructors - if you’ve been taking Lindy 2 for awhile and are comfortable with all you’ve learned there, you might be ready for this class.

All classes check in at Kakes Studio A, 2115 Pearl Street (behind the futon store). Please show up 15 minutes before class to checkin/register so that we can start class on time.

6:30-7:00pm Free practice session
7:00-8:00pm Lindy 2a
7:00-8:00pm Lindy 3
8:15-9:15pm Lindy 1a

Lindy Hop Classes Monday nights in March

Our Lindy classes in January and February were pretty much filled to capacity, but now we have some open spots for leaders and followers in our Lindy 1a class. This is Charleston emphasis month. If you’ve never done Lindy before, you’ve missed one class, but we’ll have a review and lots more practice on the Lindy Hop Basic this coming Monday, and then we’ll move on the the Circle (and then Charleston!) . If you haven’t completed the Charleston month classes, then this is also the time to complete your Jedi Training (inside class joke). We hope to see you!

There’s always room for more Level 2 and 3 students as well, so come on out and learn some fresh material.

Balboa Classes Tuesday nights in March
We’re really trying to make Balboa a semi permanent offering every week, but we need more bodies. Our beginner class started last Tuesday, but again, there will be review before Marty and Heather move on to newer material. Except for the basic, they are doing material that wasn’t done in the last two months (for beginner and int. Balboa), so you’ll always be learning something new.

For more info on our weekday classes in Lindy and Balboa, just scroll down two posts :)

March 15th with Todd and Ronni, followed by regular PSSB Dance!

We’re bringing this performance and competition savvy Lindy Hop couple (and social dancers extraordinaire!) up to Boulder to teach us some of their best moves and technique. Come see why they’ve won so many awards on the competitive circuit!

3:00pm-4:45pm: Sweet Social Moves (int/adv level), $17
5:00pm-6:45pm: Footwork and Styling (int/adv level), $17
Place: Pearl Street Studio, 2126 Pearl Street (where PSSB dances are)

*Take both classes for only $30*. Cash, checks, use your existing punchcard if you like, or buy a 5/10 card to take more classes in Boulder

Level: These classes will be for more advanced social dancers (level 3 or above in our current levels of teaching), but level 2 students should come as well to take advantage of some great instruction (and to get challenged and inspired)

As if that isn’t enough, classes are followed by a PSSB Dance starting at 8:30pm. Grab a bite after class, then come back to show off all your new moves on the dance floor (sure to elicit ooohs and aaahhhs)

Class descriptions:

Sweet Social Moves
“Challenging and fun new moves to beef up your social dancing repertoire. Focus on technique and interaction.”

Footwork and Styling
“Personalize your dancing with footwork patterns and jazz movements to insert into your basic moves. Focus on adding flare without interrupting connection
