Professional Dancers: Jason Sager and Laura Windley

Remember Jason Sager and Laura Windley who taught us Lindy Hop last semester?
They’re baaaccckkk!!

Come to our usual Friday Lessons, (tomorrow) from 8-10pm in Wilson Gym B for a great lesson on Lindy Hop!

If you remember from one of our “Did you know” posts from last semester…

In the 1930s one of the famous dances was the Lindy Hop. The Lindy Hop is an 8-count dance which evolved in a period between the late 20s and early 30s

Sunday Stunts: If you have been to at least 3 Friday lessons, you are welcome to join us to learn some cool stunts! This lesson will be Sunday, 10:30am to 12:30pm in Wilson Gym Multipurpose room B. As we always say “Why lift weights… when you can lift girls?”

If you want to be in DSDC’s Showcase, contact King Joey( joey.lauer@duke.edu)! There is still some room for you! No experience is required.

Hope to see you at all of our wonderful events!
