>> **If you are a new to partnered dancing start with this class.
>> Class descriptions, information regarding BCA & instructions on  
>> back side.
>>
>> Beginner Jitterbug: This class will be an introduction to the most  
>> well known form of swing dancing; the Jitterbug. This
>> dance was made famous in the 40s & 50s, but is still enjoyed today  
>> all across the world. We will dance to all kinds of music
>> from big band to blues to early rock and roll. You will learn  
>> several basic foot work patterns, how to connect with a partner
>> and socially lead and follow a variety of moves in open and closed  
>> position. There are many opportunities in the Cleveland
>> area to go out and dance and this is a great way to get involved,  
>> meet people, and get some exercise too! Don't be afraid!
>> This dance is very easy and fun to learn!
>>
>> Intermediate Jitterbug: If you can do a triple step basic while  
>> holding a conversation; then congratulations, you have just
>> been promoted to intermediate Jitterbug! In this class we will work  
>> on some fancier, flashier variations on moves you may
>> already know, learn some fun new moves, and tackle some interesting  
>> footwork patterns. We'll also sharpen up your leading
>> and following skills. Yep, all that in 5 weeks!
>>
>> Beginning Lindy Hop: Lindy Hop is the original form of swing  
>> dancing that began in the ballrooms of Harlem, NY in the
>> late 20s/early 30s. It is done in 8 counts rather than the  
>> Jitterbug's 6 and therefore allows you to match the music much
>> better. It is a bit more linear versus the circular Jitterbug. The  
>> Lindy is a bit more difficult to learn but oh so worth it! When
>> you begin to master the swing out, circle, inside turn, outside  
>> turn, RJ, and more....you will have a sense of overwhelming
>> euphoria and true connection to the music! For examples of the  
>> Lindy think of the dance scenes in the movies “Swing Kids”
>> and “Malcolm X”.
>>
>> Beginning Balboa: Balboa and Bal-Swing are dances that originated  
>> in the crowded ballrooms of Southern California and
>> were most popular in the mid 30s. The Balboa is most loved for its  
>> fancy footwork, finesse, subtleties, and ability to be done
>> quite easily at fast tempos. Bal is done with a closer torso-to- 
>> torso type connection and is the perfect dance for working on
>> leading and following body leads.
>>
>> Intermediate Lindy Hop: We have lots of fun and interesting moves  
>> that will help you improve your basic Lindy while
>> adding to your toolbox of moves. You will learn some alternate  
>> footwork patterns and also dive into a bit of partnered
>> Charleston as well.
>>
>> Intermediate Balboa/Bal-Swing: Bal-Swing; with its open body  
>> connection developed when the strict Balboa and
>> California style swing were combined. Bal-Swing and its bigger,  
>> flashier movements often times got dancers kicked out of
>> the ballrooms back in the day! Come and be a rebel and learn the  
>> Balboa and Bal-Swing with us!
>>

>> You do NOT need a partner to sign up for class. We rotate partners  
>> in all of our classes.
