Weekly Wrap Up - 25th March 2009

Well it was one for the books last night - beginners were treated to some teacher teaching teacher action as Duncan and I took a romantic turn in our Charleston class. We taught "Dating Charleston" that included moves such as "surfer dude", "bowling" and "at the disco". Sounds intriguing right?? if you want to know more.. pop into class 8.00 Wednesday nights at the Queens Head in North Hobart OR - ask a beginner for a Charleston dance!!

The last lesson for Level One Swing Outs brought a tear to my eye, what a bitter sweet moment it is when such a large group of students graduate!! If you are keen to keep the swing out momentum going (heheh all pun intended), Barry and Kara will be picking up where Duncan and I left off, to polish up what you have, and to give you some more moves to add into your collection, at 6.00 April 1st (no april fools joke - serious, this is what they will be teaching next week).

Barry will do a double header for the month and will also teach an introduction to Balboa with me at 7.00. This is a BLOCK class, so attendance for all four classes is required. No experience is needed, so if you are looking for something new - this is the class for you.

Next month the level two class at 6.00 will do some more bal, if you are planning on attending those classes, you MUST attend this intro block (unless you have done a bal block or classes previously - please see Barry or my self for more info).

Ideally it would be great if all level one students stuck with Level One but also continued with their Swing Outs in Level Two, AND if all Level Two students came back to Level One for a visit and Balboa basics as well as staying in their Level Two class for some fancy pants Swing Out Action.

We are trying to make sure everyone has a clear path for progression, but also a clear direction as to where they can go to make sure they have their basics squared away. The design is to ensure there is an a two way travel situation between Level One and Level Two, allowing students to move up and down, not just always up and up (and missing out on essentials along the way).

Reading about it can be kinda confusing.. I like using lots of hand gestures, so come and see me if you need further clarification (or a puppet play) and I promise to make more sense of it!
