PREREQUISITES:  Lindy Hop I (8-Week Course) -or- Equivalent.  You've taken hours of Lindy Hop classes and are proficient dancing the fundamental Lindy Hop moves with a partner on the social dance floor.  Ten moves you should already know include Swing Out from Open Position, Swing Out from Closed Position, Lindy Circle, Side-by-Side Charleston, Swing Out Variations (Outside Turn, Inside Turn, Free Turn or Sushi), Texas Tommy, Texas Tommy with a Stop, and Mini Dip.  If you can't dance the above ten moves, then take Lindy Hop I instead, or talk to the instructors.  If it's just a couple of the above moves that you don't know or haven't yet mastered, the instructors might be able to schedule a private lesson for you beforehand, or they might recommend that you take Lindy Hop I & Lindy Hop II simultaneously.  Instructors reserve the right to move any registered Lindy Hop II student to the Lindy Hop I classes instead.

PARTNERS:  No partner is required.  People are welcome to sign up either with or without a partner.  To maximize learning, all participants will be required to rotate and to dance with a variety of partners.  We will strive to register a fairly even balance of leaders and followers.

SPECIAL OFFER -- $40 REBATE!  Our goal in these courses is for you to become a better dancer.  Your becoming a better dancer is worth more to us than money.  The single most effective thing you can do to become a better dancer is simply to attend your course in its entirety.  Arrive early; stay to the end; and be there actively participating all 8 weeks.  So here's the deal -- sign up for both Lindy Hop II and Dance Team I: Swing Rueda.  (These back-to-back courses are most effective when taken together.)  Attend all eight weeks, arrive early every week, stay to the end every week, and actively participate in the courses (rather than sit on the sidelines), and upon completion of the courses, we will rebate you $40 in cash!  That's like getting Dance Team I: Swing Rueda absolutely free!  Note that the $40 rebate is for the two combined courses, so limit one $40 rebate per person.
