What? Get Hep Swing presents - A swing dance party with Moustache Yourself When? Saturday, May 25th, 2019 Where? The Lithuanian Club, 877 E. 185th Street. Dance lessons? Yes. Join us for a beginner-friendly JITTERBUG lesson from 8-9 with Get Hep Swing owner and swing dance champion, Valerie Salstrom. You do not need to bring a dance partner for the lessons or the dance. We rotate partners during the lesson. If you prefer not to rotate dance partners, we are okay with that too. Band? Moustache Yourself will entertain you with all of your favorite swing dance tunes played in a Jazz Manouche style from 9-12. Check out the band at http://moustacheyourself.wixsite.com/moustacheyourself Who may attend? EVERYONE is welcome! Do I need a partner? No, we rotate dance partners during the lesson. Everyone is really friendly and you will get asked to dance during the social dancing from 9-12. You will dance more if you do some asking. What is the cost? $12 per person. $5 for first-time attendees. No pre-event ticket sales. Pay cash at the door. We welcome anyone to join us who has an interest in dance, music, socializing and fun. We don't care what your physical ability or size is, where you are in life, where you are on the spectrum of sexual or gender orientation, what color or creed, or non-creed, you are. Are you a man who wants to learn how to follow or a woman who wants to learn how to lead? That's cool! This idea is not new to the swing dance scene. We are the easiest club to join. If you have an interest, you are in. Basically, we aren't jerks, if you are, stay home. :) We love spreading the gospel of swing dancing and we are excited to share the language and culture of this truly American, urban folk dance form with you. It is important for us to let you know that this dance style started in the African-American ballrooms of Harlem, New York in the late 1920s/early 1930s. Yes, we do pay homage to vintage swing dance forms however, our way of thinking and actions are progressive, liberal, and very open-minded. You will find swing dancing incredibly expressive, empowering, beautiful, and joyful. We can't wait for you to experience this conversation of dance with us. We make learning to partner dance easy and enjoyable. Please join us the second Friday of every month at the Lakewood Masonic Temple and the last Saturday of every month at The Lithuanian Club. Please see www.GetHepSwing.com for the most up to date information on dances, bands playing at the dances, classes, private lessons, in-school and after-school residencies and programs, performances, and special topic workshops.
