Windy Lindy update - Jumbo edition
We now have less than 4 weeks to go.. Time to get your skates on!
1. Venue Change!
On Thursday, Price Waterhouse Coopers decided to close The Loaded Hog, which they had been managing since March, and so were unable to upholding our booking for Windy Lindy this year.
After a few mad days of phone calls, we are very pleased to announce that we will now be holding the Windy Lindy 2009 Ball at the Lower Hutt Town Hall! (PHEW!) This is a fabulous venue with a great dance floor, wonderful acoustics and a ton more space.
Workshops will also be held here and since we have so much more room we can now offer extra class and pass spaces (lucky as we were chocka!)
If you've yet to book in, please do so soon as we'd really like to keep numbers as even as possible. So far we're pretty close to 50/50, well done guys!

CONNECTION BASED MOVES
Come and learn some great new moves that are built on more advanced concepts including connection, weight transfer, momentum and more...
RHYTHM CHANGES AND FANCY FOOTWORK
A great class to work on syncopated rhythms outside of our normal footwork patterns. This class will cover some led rhythm changes as well as demonstrating how leads and follows can add their own 'flavour' independently.
DANCING FASTERRRRR........
Time to put the pedal to the metal! We'll work with you to get your swingouts happening at faster speeds so that you're the dancer partner everyone's chasing!
DESPERATELY SEEKING CHARLESTON
This class will be choc-a-block full of cool Charleston material to feed that unrelenting Charleston craving. All partner based material that won't leave you wanting for more.
THE SHOW STOPPER!
This class is for the show-off in all of us. Anthony and Sarah will teach you some of their favourite flash and trash material that is sure to impress your friends, family and dance partners!
