Westie Evolution Boston is proud to present: The Gift of Giving! With our last dance of the year, we want to give back to the community and we have chosen SwingDiversity (https://swingdiversity.com/) to be the recipient of our fundraiser dance. Join us and SwingDiversity scholarship recipients for a night of fun! From 8-9pm we will run two simultaneous lessons:
If you're new to West Coast Swing or want to refresh your basics, join Melissa Miller in her beginner lesson.
If you're looking to boost your West Coast Swing, join Moriah Edwards and Mangesh (Mango) Urankar for "Sweet, Sweet Micromusicality"
The class will include a 1-phrase choreography to Honey by John Legend. Leaders will get pre-structured phrasing practice and followers will get independent styling examples. The big picture takeaway will be the benefit of listening to music and finding things you can emphasize!
Then let's dance together with our fabulous DJs: Kicking us off is the wonderful Kaeshini Shepard returning to spin us some awesome tunes, Megan Smith who will keep us on our feet, and Mangesh Urankar who will have us grooving all night long!
