THIS WEEK
Saturday - If candy isn't your thing and you would love to get some dancing in, then the studio is the place to be. Harry is throwing his own Halloween party, featuring the Dave Kenny band! Live music and rock & roll should make for a great evening. Doors open at 8, band will start at 9. If you're a WSDS member it's only $8, everyone else pays $10 to get in.

Sunday - Dance card Sunday! That means door prizes to kick off another great month of dancing!

LIVE BANDS
Only two months left in the year but still several great live music opportunites for you.....

Saturday - Dave Kenny Band at the studio, details above.

November 10th - This is an extra special treat. It's a Swing Night at the Shadow, but instead of DJ'd music, we'll feature the stylings of Cool Blue! Yes, it's still at 550 N. Rock Road. Yes, it's still all ages welcome. Yes, it's still FREE. Yes, it's still guaranteed to be a fun evening. Yes, you need to be there.

December 13th - It's our Christmas Party! Among other things I want to highlight that we'll be hosting what is easily the best band you'll hear in the studio all year. Direct from California, the Dave Stephens Swing Orchestra will be playing for three hours. That's right, the band starts early at 7, so don't be late!

WORKSHOPS
November 14th - The Lindy Bombers are giving you a dance workshop that is cheap and filled with fun new stuff to add to your dancing! It's at the dance studio, here's the schedule:
10 - Challenging Charleston - Just what you think, some exciting patterns to put some kick in your partner charleston
11 - Mind Blowing Moves - Let's expand your lindy hop and your mind, with the powerful drug of dance
12 - Hustle and Flow - Everything's better smooth, including your dancing! We'll focus on the flow in this class.
Classes are $7 each or $15 for all three!

BIG EVENTS
A lot of bang left for your buck in 2009:

November 15th - SOCKHOP! Ronnie Choy is back to DJ you back to a better time of malt shops, greased hair, and poodle skirts. It's bound to be a magical evening you won't want to miss, so dress the part and enjoy yourself!

December 13th - Christmas Party! Info in the Live Band section, but also be aware there will be door prizes, and MEMBERS GET IN FREE! It's our Christmas gift to you.

December 31st - New Year's Eve party! We'll have food, dancing, and the Dance Man Ronnie Choy! Come dance in the New Year with us. Party will get started at 9 PM and run until 1 AM. More info to come soon, but mark your calendar (as if you could forget the date!) it's going to be a very fun time.

It's basically November, and you still have Live Bands, Workshops, and some of our biggest events of the year to look forward to before 2010! Your board meets in the middle of November, so we'll have some exciting news about 2010 to add in here coming soon!

See you Sunday!
