What a fun night we had at Uptown Swing on Saturday! As promised, there were lots of smiles, great energy, and a very hot Sax Gordon Band:-) Thank you so much to everyone who joined us. Also, a special thank you to our Hop to the Beat crew who performed with us.
Our next dance is coming up next weekend (not the usual 3rd Saturday) and features the “other” awesome Gordon!

January Lindy Hop Swing Class Session
Plans are set for our first 6 week session of classes in Newton and Boston for 2012!
New classes in Beginner Swing/Intro to Lindy Hop Level 1 and Lindy Hop Level 2 are scheduled in Newton Lower Falls starting Sunday evenings on January 8 and in Boston, Monday evenings on January 9. Both locations are conveniently accessible by car or T with free parking available. It will be possible to make up missed classes at the alternate location and it has been great to see students taking advantage of that.
Also coming up, we have a new class for intermediate to advanced Lindy Hoppers: Partner Charleston, Flashy Variations and Transitions. It will include some cool variations on classic Charleston while also focusing on some fancy transitions. This class will be challenging, energetic and of course a ton of fun! It meets on Sundays in Newton.
Registration is open - Complete class information and registration.
Best wishes for a very Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you are able to enjoy the time with family and friends.
Happy dancing,
Aurelie & Tony
