then wonder how YOU look so cool on the dance floor! Laura and Owen will
help you add smooth style to your dancing!

If you can Lindy Hop, chances are you know how
to do the side-by-side Charleston. This class will teach you a cool entry

involve the Charleston footwork. Owen and Emily bring just the right touch
of drama and exciting energy to your dance!
Connect the Dots – Cody and Christy
(4:30-5:30 pm).
Do you know how to get from point A to point B..............
with pizazz? In this class you'll learn how to go beyond getting from
