Shob and Andy are thrilled to bring you a whole days learning dedicated to newer dancers.  In particular, by popular demand, we will be teaching 8 beat lindy hop in the 2 morning classes..and will have you swinging out confidently in just one morning! Add to that some solo jazz and showstopping aerials..you don’t want to miss this!  Details on fliers at the venue this week or email us for info.

*** DANCING TO A LIVE BIG BAND ON SUN AUG 1ST***

Dancing to a big band is one of the biggest thrills for any swing dancer.  We are delighted to invite you to an afternoon of dancing with all your North Melbourne friends to a 17 piece big band!  The B-Sharp big band boasts some of Melbourne finest jazz musicians.

They will be playing Sun Aug 1^st at the Copa Cabana on Smith Street from 1 to 3 pm and we would love to see as many Nth Melb students there as possible, for the special discounted price of 15 dollars.

We will be meeting for brunch  beforehand and you are all invited..sign up at Nth Melb this week or drop us an email.  (shob@swingpatrol.com.au)

This week’s class line-up is:           

Level 1 Add flow to your charleston!

 

This class is open to all…you can start anytime...and it will give you great swing dancing foundations.  Bring a friend or workmate, make some friends and have a ball!

 

We continue where we left you last week in side by side charleston.  We show you how to add flow and travel to your charleston..will be great fun!

 

Level 2 at 7:30 pm – Bal course week 3

 

Everyone’s balboa is coming along beautifully. More revision of the basics this week and then we cover more of the fundamental transitions and rhythms.  Get the solid technique that will get you ready for the social floor.

 

Level 3 at 8:30 pm – Lead-up course to AJC: week 2…Strictly Lindy

 

Its 6 weeks to AJC and we thought we would take this opportunity to explore all the different styles of dancing that you will see in the competition.  Andy and Shob have been in nearly all the divisions and have a pile of  trophies to show for it.  We will show you some of our secrets and cover a different style every week: slow, medium, fast, solo, jack n jill.  Whether you are considering competing or not..you will gain a lot from this exploration of the wonderful variety of swing dancing on offer.

 

This week we work on strictly lindy..classic medium tempo swinging out!  The class will focus on adding dynamics to your dancing..the stuff that catches the eye of the crowd and the judges. 

 

Social dancing

 

Social dancing at North Melbourne is a unique experience with a cool atmosphere, fun dancers, and two DJs every week.  It’s $6 dollars at the door and goes from 9:30 pm til midnight.  If you take the classes, social dancing is free.  Enjoy the big, beautiful dance floor, air conditioning, and the fantastic, friendly (and slightly crazy) North Melbourne crew.  All welcome!

DJs: Dan and Andrew
