Welcome to Bentleigh!

Bentleigh (Bentleigh RSL)
08 Feb 2010

Hi everyone!

 

It’s great to be back at Bentleigh for a new year of swing, swing, swing.  It was fantastic to see all the familiar faces, and even better to see so many new people join us on the lindy hop journey.  We’ve got heaps planned throughout the year, with dance festivals, balls and performances all part of the menu, so keep an eye on this page, and the SP website for all the details.

 

We’ll also have a recap of what we did each week here, and give you a glimpse of what’s coming up, both at Bentleigh, and around the bigger swing scene.

 

See you next week!

We’ve got more side by side charleston in store next week, with a few cool new moves thrown in.  There’ll be jig walks, big kicks, and we’ll do some recap as well.

 

Level 2 (7:30pm)

It’s going to be a zen class this week, with some straight up technique balanced with flash and trash.  Get ready for some not-quite-standard connections!
