This Sunday MAY 24th is Fusion Night at the Gulfport Casino Ballroom! Come experience Tampa Bay's hottest new dance event, and plan to stay out late dancing, because it's Memorial Day weekend, and you have Monday off! The night's lessons feature special guest instructors, Tatyana & Brian (pictured below), from The Way 2 Dance studio in Brandon. They'll be teaching Samba & Tango (American-style), two incredibly useful dances for music ranging from retro to modern. Lessons are followed by Dancing 8-11pm to an exciting mix of music supporting your favorite partnered dances. (We also take requests, if you have a special dance you want to dance or song you want to hear.) Please spread the word!
Congratulations to Bri on one year of Lindy Hopping! Check out her "Before" (May 2014) and "After" (May 2015) videos dancing Frankie Manning's Lindy Chorus.
CHARLESTON IN MAY —
Charleston
is the 6pm Bonus Lesson topic every Wednesday in May at the Gulfport Casino Swing Night,
and we've added new classes this year! (See list of classes below.)
Half of swing dancing is Charleston-based, so get good at Charleston, and you'll get A LOT better at swing, whether you dance East-Coast Swing or Lindy Hop.
In these classes, we'll cover partnering, leading & following, and dozens of Charleston moves that you should immediately incorporate into your swing dancing.
We'll get you feeling and dancing those Charlestons!
