Level
This is an Advanced class.
Dancer should be comfortable with musicality and movement concepts. No tempo frightens you. Creativity and expression on the floor is what you are looking for in your dances. Dancer has travelled and learned from a variety of teachers in a variety of places. Charleston, Balboa, Shag, Blues all have an interest to you and you work them into your dances as the music moves you. You understand that the fundamentals are key to this dance -- maybe even having revamped your swingout several times already.

Thief of the Savoy Monday, March 3rd, 900p-1000p
Frankie likes to talk about how back in the day he would learn a lot of moves from watching other dancers to learn new moves. He'd joke, "You've heard of the Thief of Baghdad, well they called me The thief of the Savoy!" So in this class Jason and Kelli will teach some of their favorite moves they've learned from other dancers.
