Hello dancers! I'm already excited for Sunday, but first some notes for you....
1) Sunflower Swing needs your help! If you can host a visiting dancer, we need you! Fill out the form here: http://www.wichitaswingdance.com/ani_housing.html All it takes is somewhere for them to sleep (even if it's the floor) and access to a bathroom. Please consider giving someone a place to crash! We need volunteers to help run the event! Setting up, taking money at the door, and many other easy tasks. In return you can save money on your weekend pass or get in free to the specific event you help at! Respond to this email if you're interested, there are enough spots available to accomodate your preferences.....for now.
2) Wichita represented itself well at The Rhythm is Jumpin in Kansas City this past weekend. We had multiple dancers in the finals of the Jack & Jill and Strictly Lindy competitions, including a 2nd place finish in the Jack & Jill! Be proud of your fellow dancers, and consider traveling to an event yourself! They're listed below under Travel Opportunities, and are a great time!
THIS WEEK
Sunday is SOUL NIGHT!!!!! We'll have normal music in the basement, but upstairs you'll have the chance to get down and get funky with the Foundations, the Temptations, The Four Tops and more!
Tuesday is the final Swing Night at the Shadow. Please come support the venue that supported us for over a year, and get some free dancing in from 6-9 PM!
