This month's topic is "Frankie, Freda, Willa, Anne, Norma and Mickey", a collection of lessons to celebrate Frankie Manning's birthday through revisiting some of his favorite moves and the favorites of his incredible dance partners!

Week 1 — Classic Frankie Moves
INTERMEDIATE LEVEL CLASS

Pre-requisites: MUST be comfortable with core lindy hop 6/8 count moves such as the swingout, lindy circle, tuck turns, and side passes. Intermediate students likely have AT LEAST 6 months to 1 year experience. They are getting comfortable with the basics and are working on putting moves together and going out social dancing.

Class Description: Step into the world of the Savoy Ballroom and learn the signature moves that made Frankie Manning and his partners legendary. We’ll explore classic Frankie vocabulary—Promenades, Pecking Scoots, Around the World, and Frankie 6’s—while bringing the rhythm and spirit of Savoy-style Lindy Hop to life. Expect high energy, musicality, and a few stories from the golden age of swing.

>>What's a practicum and social dance? 
We DJ music just like a regular social dance. You can come out and just dance like normal, or you can come planning to work on something: Ask for feedback, work on a move, play with variations, master a routine.
>>Have a specific question? 
Experienced dancers and local teachers are available at practicum to help out with sticky spots.

>> Balboa? Shag? Solo? Learning swingouts? 
Let the DJ know what you're working on if you have specific music requests!
