    G'morning, my name is Sage, some of you have met me, and many of you probably don't know me..

    I came back to BYU after being gone to Korea for a while, where I got to learn Lindy.

    Well, I happen to know the best Lindy hopper in Korea, who is also a great teacher,
    and she is coming here to visit in April.

    So, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in some kind of workshop.

    Her name is Jeesun Lee, and she won 2005 ALHC Pro/am, took second in Adv. J&J, and took third in Classic division.
    In 2006 NJC, she took 4th in Pro/am, and took 8th out of 80 follows in Adv. J&J.

    She has taught various classes and workshops including Tokyo Swing Festival where she taught her unique follows styling, along with champion dancers.

    Her favorite, or strong classes are classes related to the basic (connection, rhythm, triples.. she explains you how and why everything happens way it does), follows styling, and musicality.

    Also, she teaches various levels of lindy, fast lindy, charleston, and solo charleston for follows as well.

    You can check out her clips on Youtube,

    first three clips are hers.

    So, let me know if any of them sounds interesting, or if there's anything in specific that you'd be interested in learning!

    I didn't think that you were exaggerating when you told me a bit about her bio, but DANG! seeing is believing!! Now we just need a chance to dance and learn from her.

    If she'll be here on the 12th, I vote that she take a primary spot in the Utah Girl Jam!

    Any other options? Location-wise, the Girl Jam is the best option.

    Unless, we turn a Saturday late-afternoon evening into a series of lessons (e.g. 5-9). I'd eat an early and a late dinner if I got to learn from her.

    She will be here, but I wouldn't want to interrupt somthing that has already been arranged and put out. Maybe we could do it that evening, like 6~9 or something like that, or if weekdays work, that'd be cool as well..

    location is still tough. i say we get in touch with the Girl Jam people and change things up.

    either that or...
