**Here's some important news from the team regarding the future of Swing Out Central Ponsonby.**
This coming Thursday night (August 21st) will be the last classes for the venue (and the school).
Thank-you very much for the huge support of anyone who has ever attended a SoC class. You all are the only reason that any of us has ever taught any swing class.
Thanks to everyone who has worked on the door, helped out in general, or taught classes in the past.
A special thanks to Imogen and David for all of the behind-the-scenes work that we never see!
Your current teaching team - Lizzie, Wayne, Alison and Richard - will still be around the lindy hop scene so keep an eye out for us.
If you still want to learn and dance lindy hop, I'll comment some resources you can use to keep learning and dancing.

Level 1:
No experience or partner required! This level is about having a go and getting started with the basics of swing dancing. This level is all about the fun! Level 2:
This is where we’ll take you to the next level and beyond! To join this clas
Level 1 we switched to 8 count, starting with forwards/backwards, flip flop, promenade and a lunge break.
Level 2 we worked on tandem charleston and learned the chase (or S-turn) to get into it.
Level 1 we learned hand-to-hand charleston and how to get into it from side-by-side.
Level 2 we played around with send-outs and yo-yos, working on our momentum, catching to closed or keeping going to open, and trying out different hand connections.
Level 1 we continued with side-by-side charleston, this time learning skip-ups, as well as skip-up with a change of direction.
Level 1 new block and new steps. This time we covered some side by side charleston, along with some extra kicks forward + walks back, and hovers/repeater kicks.
Level 2 we practiced our reverse swingouts as well as a 6 count left side pass and reverse circle.
Level 1 for the last class of the block we practiced our swingouts and learned outside turn and inside turn variations.
Level 1 this week we learned swingouts and circles. Swingouts are the foundational move of lindy hop and the move you never stop learning.
Level 2 we continued working on our sugar push, working through lots of technique and some footwork options.
