5 MONTHS choreographed dance routine with Tom and Debra BANDSTAND BOOGIE choreographed dance routine with Sue and Gary Learn a fun, fast-paced routine that is a great challenge for the more experienced dancer. Each class culminates in a recital performance at one of the Gottaswing dances. What fun! This is the first step to becoming a member of our world-famous dance team, the Eight Week Wonders. This time around, Tom and Debra are teaching the "5 MONTHS" routine, one of our longest-running and most frequently performed routines. Sue and Gary are teaching "BANDSTAND BOOGIE," a routine that was recently created specifically for performance at the National July 4 parade. It's a remastering of the "5 MONTHS" routine cut down to fit a shorter slower tune. This is an excellent entry point if you're interested in performing. Offers the opportunity to work on presentation and performance skills with an eye towards public performance. The routine class is recommended for students who have taken a beginner series and at least one intermediate series with Tom and Debra. Questions, or need a partner? Email Debra. You must be registered for the entire session; no drop-ins allowed! Tuition is $110 per person for the eight-week session. Back to TOP^ HardCORE FRAMEwork II and Advanced Lindy with Michael and Poppy HardCORE FRAMEwork: Every dancer has core and frame and engaging these elements is essential to becoming a better dancer. A little hard work will bring you to a higher level. You'll work on building Confidence, Orchestration, Responsiveness, and Execution as well as the Fundamentals, Realization, and Artistic and Musical Expression. (Get it? Ha!) Advanced Lindy combines theory and application through moves of a more complex nature, and will teach you how to make them flow together musically as well as discovering new ways of altering moves you already know. This class will help put you in the right mindset to be the dancer you always knew you could be. This is an advanced level class appropriate for students who have taken Michael and Poppy's regular intermediate level class, plus Lindy Zen and HardCORE FRAMEwork, plus experienced dancers who exhibit a clear understanding of the fundamentals. This is not your average dance class! You must be registered for the entire session; no drop-ins allowed! Tuition is $110 per person per class for the eight-week session.
