MARCH 2024 Reboot

The Mercury Retros are starting again on March 7th, 2024, this is the PERFECT time to jump in! Join us on a deep dive of the Big Apple, the vintage solo choreography so classic, it's a veritable dictionary of early Jazz movement! We’ll also be working on Lindy technique through the Cali Routine (another vintage choreo, but partnered) and Lindy Rueda (a called “circle” dance where you trade partners). No partner necessary to join.

We'll be learning Frankie Manning's version of the Big Apple as seen in the 1939 film Keep Punching. Like Lindy Hop, the Big Apple is an Afro-American dance with a complex history, and one of our favorite dances!

Prereq: be comfortable with your Lindy basics: the swing-out, side x side charleston, etc.

The first practice will be Thursday, March 7th, 2024 and will run for three months until May 30th! The Mercury Retros are an open team, meaning anyone can join, no audition required. Instructors are Ceth Stifel and Leea Kuronen.

NO STREET SHOES allowed at MOVE! studio. Also, NO FOOD OR DRINK other than water! Please bring a clean pair of dance shoes to change into, along with your water bottles.
