Beantown Swing – T-Step Workshop Weekend at Springstep
This Friday, Boston Swing Central will be kicking off the T-Step Workshop weekend featuring Steven Mitchell & Virginie Jensen. We’ll be welcoming the Beantown Swing Orchestra back to the BSC…they haven’t played for us since this past spring when they brought guest star Erin McKeown. And for those of you that were there that night, you know what a treat you’re in for! If you like big band swing, this is your band! They have it all – from the big brass trumpets to the swing song of the saxophone. What’s not to love?Their band leader, Frank Hsieh has really got a good feel for the material dancers rave about!
There are also bound to be many dancers from out of town for the weekend workshop, which means more great dancers to dance with. So come on out for a great night!

About T Step:
We are so happy to support the upcoming T-Step Workshop weekend featuring Steven Mitchell & Virginie Jensen. These two teachers are amongst the best in the world, and have not been to Boston in many many years! Come out and show them what the Boston scene is all about! They’re fantastic and really inspirational and when they teach at camps like Swing Out New Hampshire, the classes are packed.
Fortunately for us, Albert Law, the coordinator for the T-Step event, has been to enough of these packed classes and has decided to limit the class sizes for a more intimate learning experience. He’s also tracked the classes and his strict placement of everyone should guarantee a great learning experience for all. Steven and Virginie are great at all levels, their beginner classes work heavily on the stuff that we all need, from the beginner to the intermediate. Steven has many pearls of wisdom and insight into the dance that he shares with you. His exercises can be non-intuitive at first, but after you reflect back upon them some time later, you’ll come to new realizations. And this is what our scene really needs. We need gurus such as Steven & Virginie to come in and shake up the status quo.
So come and join us the weekend of September 25 – 27th for a workshop weekend like no other. Sign-ups are still available! Check it out on their website at http://www.tstep.org/!
