Swing Rueda Workshop
Learn the super fun circle group dance that uses familiar lindy hop moves to trade partners in response to a caller! It’s Lindy Hop meets Simon Says mashed up with Ring-Around-the-Rosie! Practice the basic movements and rules of the dance such as Dame, Dame Otra, Inside & Outside Turn, plus learn trickier partner change combos that are goofy fun.
No previous Rueda experience is needed, but you must be proficient with these lindy hop basics: swingouts & lindy circle, 8-count turns, 6-count turns and side-by-side charleston.
Macy Blackman & the Mighty Fines
Macy Blackman & the Mighty Fines play groovin’ tunes for dancing.
Macy Blackman and the Mighty Fines play music that blends early New Orleans Jazz and the R&B of the early ’50’s. Led by pianist/vocalist Macy Blackman – whose resume includes playing backup with the Drifters and the Coasters – the band’s philosophy is that “if [we don’t] make you move your feet, it’s amazing you got here at all!”
