Hello dancers! A few dance opportunities this week you definitely want to pay attention to, but first a quick note or two:
1) The Tulsa roadtrip has been cancelled due to lack of response. We'll try this again another time.
2) We still need a few leads for the Bradley Fair gig this Saturday, please respond if available.
3) Sunflower Swing is one week closer! What's been going on lately? We are set with our 2nd band of the weekend: Pivot Point will play Saturday night. Members have played with everyone from the Andrews Sisters to Brian Setzer, we're very excited. We're also getting our DJ schedule filled out with guest DJ's from California, Omaha, and Kansas City! Head to our website to learn more and get registered!
4) We have a growing number of out of town guests coming to Sunflower Swing, and they're looking for places to stay! If you're interested in housing a dancer, please visit our website:
And fill out the Volunteer Host Form!
