Monday Swing Classes

The Hilo Hep Cats will offer classes in Lindyhop, the original style of swing dancing which emerged from Harlem in the 1920s before becoming an international sensation; it's still danced around the world today.  Six-week classes are $45, or $35 if you take 2 or more classes.  If you bring a new student who signs up for a 6-week session at full price, you get your 6-week session at half price--only $22!  Drop-ins are $10 per class.
 
All classes will be held Monday evenings at the Island Dance Academy, 27 Haili Street (across from the Palace Theatre in downtown Hilo).  Classes will be held on May 7 and 14, then resume after a 2 week break on June 4, 11, 18 and 25. No partners needed.
 
The classes will be:
 
6:30 - 7:30 p.m.  Intermediate Lindy.  This class is for experienced Lindyhoppers who are confident in their swingout. Learn styling, connection, musicality and new moves.
 
7:30 - 8:30 p.m.  Balboa 2. Some Balboa experience is needed as we continue to explore both pure Balboa and Bal-Swing moves.
