Pre-Crash Course Rittenhop – August 9, 2010
Posted August 7th, 2010 by Seth

Hello there folks!

LaB will be throwing Rittenhop again this week to help kick off the Lindy Hop Crash Course afterward!
So bring your friends who have yet to become addicted to this thing we all share and love so much so they can see how amazing and fun it is BEFORE going to attend the crash course (at the Ethical Society) and learning how to begin their dancing as a lindy hopper! :D

Rittenhop will begin at Noon and go til 2pm. The Crash Course will follow Rittenhop…so throw on your favorite pair of cement friendly flats and come hop to the boogie with us! :D

Until then,

Seth


Rittenhop on Hiatus
Posted July 25th, 2010 by Seth

Hello to all you lovers of dancing outside on Sunday!

Due to the incredibly hot summer, events here,  and people traveling a lot this summer we have not had many Rittenhops thus far. It is looking like this may be the case in the near future as well.

So unless you receive an email (email the seth@lindyandblues.com to get on the list) stating that Rittenhop is ON for that week you can assume that there will be no Rittenhop. Also, please check back to this board as a more reliable source of info on Rittenhop than email as the email system sometimes takes a while to process.

So again, Rittenhop is now on a “not happening” default for the hot summer months. If the  weather looks danceable then we will send out an email and update the forum to reflect that.

Hopefully we will have some cooler days coming up and can get out and dance in Rittenhouse Square again!!!

Take care,

Seth

7/18/10: Rittenhop Canceled!
Posted July 18th, 2010 by Seth

Hi folks,

Due to boiling weather and many summer absentees, Rittenhop will be canceled tomorrow afternoon. Instead of outdoor dancing, we suggest you find some water and/or air conditioning to lay in, and move as little as possible!

Happy loafing,

Seth, Carsie et al

Rittenhop: Sunday, June 6th Cancelled
Posted June 6th, 2010 by Jesse

Alas, dear rittenfolk, this weekend not only is there tons of outdoor dancing with the wonderful Philly Lindy Love, but there is also an art fair in Rittenhouse Park.  In lieu of all of these fine occurrences (and the fact that there isn’t space in Rittenhouse for us), we have to cancel this sunday’s dance.

Until next week!


Rittenhop: Sunday, May 30th is ON!
Posted May 30th, 2010 by Jesse

With blue skies like these, how can you pass up an afternoon of dancing in the park? You don’t even have work tomorrow!

Come join us from noon to 2PM in the middle of the square to get your Lindy urges out.

See you there!


Rittenhop w/ Drew & Paul – 5/23/10
Posted May 22nd, 2010 by Seth

Come one! Come ALL! Unless it is raining, Rittenhop is a GO and you will NOT want to miss it this week!

Drew Nugent and Paul Salter will be back to grace us with their make-your-ass-want-to-move-to-the-groove jazz tunes. If you have not heard them play at Rittenhop, then this is definitely the time to come out and dance and/or listen to these two boys drop it like its HOT (jazz) (MESS..hehe, sorry but I had to).

Check the link to see if RH has been canceled before leaving home..just to be sure. :)
