A jazzy place to dance the Lindy Hop

Attention to all who are seeking for a cheap, fun, and very interesting dance class!
 

In the city of Whitter in Southern California, there is a place where on certain nights they give lessons of how to Lindy Hop.

The dance studio is called Memories at 12901 Philadelphia Street in Uptown Whitter.
The Building was completed in 1887 and was once a Oddfellows lodge up till the 1930's. Now a Banquet Hall it serves many purposes, including a Lindy Hop dance studio.

 Lindy Hop is the original swing dance. During the late 1920's a new and exciting dance was rising from the streets of Harlem during the Harlem Renaissance.
The Lindy Hop consists of very quick steps, at times swinging your partner around, and swiftly twisting and turning while looking graceful.

Here's a clip of the Lindy Hop~





It is Absolutely insane of how quick these dancers can move their bodies!

At Memories, every Monday night, they hold a Swing/Lindy Hop night from 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. for only $3.
Of course kids of 16 years and younger have to be accompanied by an adult but it is for all ages.


For the adventurous souls who want to learn the art form of Lindy Hopping
Memories give lessons every Monday and Wednesday night. But be sure you sign up at the first Monday of each month.
   It is $45 dollars a month and you can pay as you go.
Extremely cheap compared to other $70 or higher priced swing dancing classes!


On December 5 2011, Memories is having an Open House on Monday night at 8:00 p.m. for new Lindy Hop lessons.
There will be free food, prizes, and live performances.

The new Lindy Hop lessons will start on the same day from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m.
