Get Your Poodle Skirts Out...

This Saturday is our second annual 1950's Sock Hop!

Help us celebrate the return of our regular 4th Saturday dance. Featuring DJ Stephan Soghoian, a veteran dancer, musician, and DJ in Charlottesville who routinely appears on WTJU and is the bandleader for the SwingKats combo.
DJ and Musician Stephen Soghoian

Schedule:

5:30-7:30pm - Workshop
Learn "The Stroll" and "The Madison", two wildly popular line dances from the 1950's and 60's. If you are older and wiser than me, you may remember these dances from you high school Sock Hops. But for those of us unlucky enough to miss the original, you've probably at least seen The Madison danced in the movie "Hairspray". (See the video below)

7:30-8:30pm - Beginner Lesson
Learn the basics of East Coast Swing in this quick and fun one-hour lesson. Perfect for those who have never danced before. If you were here for the Crash Course this will be a good review for you too!

8:30-11:30pm - Sock Hop Dance
We'll be spinning tunes and swinging out --1950's attire is encouraged!

Midnight-?? - After-Party
There just might be a late-night dance after the main dance ends. You'll have to come to the dance to find out for sure!

It's Madison Time!
