Dear dancers,

This semester, I have volunteered to choreograph a routine for Lindy
on Sproul at UC Berkeley for students and the wider community, and I
am looking for enthusiastic Lindy hoppers who want to learn the
routine and show it off in performance (dates and times TBA). I am
extremely excited to choreograph this routine, since performance is a
great way to grow the scene, as my contribution to this club.

To be the group, you need to know East Coast Swing and Charleston, and
preferably Lindy hop.

The choreography is in the making and will be ready by the start of
practice, but you can expect things like solo movement, partnered
dancing, and lifts within the Lindy hop and Charleston dances. In
practices, we will be fine tuning elements of the dance, learning
choreography, strengthening partner connection, and trying new moves.
It is a great opportunity to bond with other dancers, show off to
people, and learn a lot in the process!

My goal for this group is to put together a piece to perform by the
end of the semester. Practice would be held once a week for two hours
in a room in Dwinelle. Practice will start the week of September 20
(to pick a practice time and day, use this poll -
http://doodle.com/5u4hqueibkda2zmd). I will email the finalized
practice day and time.

Join me!

Hey everybody,

The first practice for Lindy on Sproul Performance Group is Saturday
September 25 4-6pm. We'll meet outside Dwinelle and find a room. We
will start building skills then and learning choreography. Each week,
we will learn more choreography or another skill, like how performance
is different than social dancing and how to make your movements
bigger, etc. At the end of the semester, we will have a final product
that we will perform (performances TBA).

Thank you everybody who signed up!

Jessica

Hey Performers,

FYI, the song we will be performing to is "Who Ya Hunchin'" by Chick
Webb. You can find other routines to it on YouTube (ours will be very
different, Berkeley style!). Just search for the song and listen to it
if you have a minute. I more you know how the song goes, the easier
time learning the choreography will be. Email me with any questions.

See you September 25 in Dwinelle 4-6,

Jessica Gross
