Anna Whitmire has started a new ongoing series of summer lessons for experienced dancers.
In particular, if you have done our beginning lessons at ScS and were looking for a way to build on that, then these classes might be just for you.
There's not really a beginning and end to the series, each evening stands on it's own, so you can come as you have time. I'm going and I hope to see you there Wednesday night!
______
Anna Whitmire and Chris Mayer will be teaching a set of summer swing lessons in the Houston area! It will be geared towards those who already have background in dance and are eager to take it to the next level. The series will focus on lindyhop technique and aesthetics. The material will be thought provoking, the pace will be moderate, and the result will be sweaty and satisfying.
Bring flat/smooth soled tennis shoes, socks, chromed shoes (if you have them), and clothes that you can move comfortably in. Self-deodorizing and toothbrushing are generally appreciated.
Where: Derek Gilboe's house (3415 Stanford Houston, TX) - in the Skybar area.
When: WEDNESDAYS 9:00pm-10:00pm
Cost: $10/class
