6 to 7:00 West Coast Swing class for novices. 7 to 8:15 West Coast Swing class for people with some experience. 8:15 to 9:30 Hustle for all levels. On the last two Sundays in May, there will be classes to help you turn your Lindy and East Coast Swing into West Coast Swing, so you can dance at our monthly West Coast Swing dance parties. $10 for all of Sunday night (includes Israeli dancing on Monday too). Sunday night is only $7 if you paid for any organized dancing during the prior week. $5 students.

Regular Sunday night schedule is:

6:00 - 7:00 Swing Dancing for new dancers. No dance experience needed.

7:00-8:15 Lindy swing lesson and dancing for people with some dance experience.

8:15-9:30 Hustle for all levels, lesson and dancing. Some dance experience helpful.

No partner needed.

The sessions are structured with simple lessons and a lot of dance time, so you do get to dance. We rotate partners every dance, so you get to dance the same amount as everyone else. Rotating is not required.

No partner needed. Some dance experience needed for the 7 pm session. If you have no organized dance experience, come to the new beginners class at 6.

Lindy is the mother of all swing dances, the simplest, most varied and most versatile. When you know Lindy, you can expand your repetoire and dance to any swing music on any size floor, no matter how crowded.

Hustle originated from the Disco of the 1970s, with a heart pounding (not loud, but steady) beat that keeps you in constant motion. Guaranteed to get your endorphins flowing, keep you smiling and build up your stamina. Among the most exhilirating of social dances.

Cost: $10 general for all of Sunday night. $5 students for the whole evening. Includes Israeli Dancing on Monday night at no additional charge.

Special program, the More You Dance the More You Save.

Pay for 1 other organized dance session during the prior week and Sunday night is only $7.

Monthly rates available to help you save even more.
