Summer is certainly here and we hope that everyone is getting out and enjoying the weather. This time of year we often get distracted with other activities, but there is still plenty of fun dancing to be had in the Boston area! Check out the regular venues which continue to run through the summer and the special outdoor concerts and events that may bring some different opportunities to get your groove on.

Our new 6 week session of Lindy Hop classes started Monday and it is still possible to join in the 2nd week. Classes for this session include Beginner Swing/Intro to Lindy Hop Level 1 and Lindy Hop Level 2. They are offered on Monday evenings at the Ruggles Baptist Church near Fenway Park in Boston.

Both classes were close to balanced on the first evening. We have a nice mix of new and returning students and are looking forward to a fun session!

Please let us know if you are planning on joining either of the classes or submit an on-line registration. Thanks!

Class information and registration.

This will be our only summer class session. In September we’ll be back at Newton on Sundays and continuing in Boston on Mondays.

We are just back from Beantown Camp, catching up on sleep and sorting through the camp follow up. The entire week has once again exceeded expectations and we’ll have more to say once we’ve got our thoughts together.

Our summer session starts this Monday, July 9 in Boston! The session meets for 6 weeks and includes Beginner Swing/Intro to Lindy Hop Level 1 and Lindy Hop Level 2. Each class is followed by a half hour practice time, a fun time to work with classmates on what you just learned. The location is the Ruggles Baptist Church on Beacon Street near Fenway Park (just at the Boston/Brookline border), close to several public transportation choices. Street parking is available as well as in the church lot.
