After months of discussions and planning and searching for a weekly weeknight venue, we’re so excited to announce the return of our monthly series — kicking off with our signature Lindy Hop 101 in February!
This will be just like we were doing on Mondays in the before times, but moving them back over to our home night of Thursdays and adding a fun new twist! To give you a chance to put what you’ve learned immediately into practice, when class ends, we’ll be opening up the floor for a social hour (and then some). There’s no need to have taken the class to join for the social afterwards.
Here’s what you need to know:
Where? Falcon Bowl in the Riverwest neighborhood. 801 E. Clarke Street. We’ll be over in the dance hall. Just to the left and up a few stairs after you walk into the door. We’ll have non-gendered designated restrooms available.
When? Every Thursday night - for this first month, we’re starting with just one class, which will run 7-8. We’ll start check in/registration at 6:45. The floor will open for the social hour+ at 8 and will run until about 9:30 (but we’re flexible).
How much? 2020 pricing, friends! At least this first round, we’ll be offering the whole series of 4 classes for $25. Pre-registration will open on the first of the month, but cash and card are always welcome at the door. The social hour will be donation based (suggested $5 to help us cover expenses, but anything is appreciated) or you’re welcome to join at no cost. We are a non-profit 501(c)3, so will make receipts available if you’d like for tax purposes. We’ll keep that going as long as we can continue to keep our staff paid and rentals covered. If we have to adjust, we’ll continue to try to keep pricing as low as we can to be as accessible as possible.
Why should I take tracked classes? Offering a series gives students more of a chance to progress in their dancing — being able to build on what you learn week to week, rather than just collecting skills and moves. As a bonus, you start to build a community when you’re seeing the same folks week to week.
That’s it for now! See you on Thursdays very soon!
