Here's the line-up of classes for the September 2011 session:

Swing 1
Time: 7:35 to 9pm
Dates: Sundays from September 18th to October 30th (except Oct 9th for Thanksgiving)
Swing 1 is the class for you if you're brand new to partner dancing or if you want to work on your fundamentals. You don't need a partner or any experience for this series.

Balboa 1
Time: 6pm to 7:25
Dates: Sundays from September 18th to October 30th (except Oct 9th for Thanksgiving)
Balboa 1 is a second level class - you'll want to have completed Swing 1 or higher with us. It's a phenomenally fun dance that's custom-made for dancing to fast music and/or on crowded dance floors.

Swing 3
Time: 8pm to 9:30
Dates: Thursdays from September 22nd to October 27th
Swing 3 is for dancers who have completed Swing 2, Balboa 1, or a higher level class. We'll work on your swingouts, shim sham, charleston, and laughing your ass off.

It all starts this week!

Swing 2 and Swing 3 on Tuesday, then Crossing The Streams on Wednesday, and finally Swing 1 on Thursday.

These are the classes you are looking for.
These are the classes we are looking for.

UPDATE - I didn't realize there was a conflicting blues class when I set this schedule, so we'll be pushing Blues on the Move back to our July session. In its place (June 5th-22nd), we'll be teaching a three-week series that I've always wanted to run: transitions!

We have lots of different dances in the swing family, and there are oodles of ways to move smoothly from any one to another. This is going to be fairly advanced stuff - you'll need to have at least Swing 3 under your belt.

The working title for this tranistions series is... Crossing The Streams!
