Wichita Swing Dance Society

Hello dancers!  We're less than one month away from Sunflower Swing and there's a lot to get excited for!  Check out all the details at www.wichitaswingdance.com!
 
We need volunteers and hosts for Sunflower!  Respond to this email if you're interested in either one.  You can help make this event a success! 
 
Finally, the 4th of July is a Sunday but WE WILL NOT BE DANCING THAT NIGHT.  We hope you enjoy celebrating the birth of our nation!
 
THIS WEEK
Sunday we have two great reasons for you to attend:
1) It's our June Birthday Jam! 
2) We're extending our Sunflower Swing special!  Be one of the first 5 to register for Sunflower Swing this Sunday and do so for only $50!!  Eight classes, 3 nights of dancing, and 2 live bands are all yours!
 
WORKSHOPS
It's all about Sunflower Swing, 2 days, 2 great sets of instructors, 8 classes for you to indulge your desire to learn.  Check out the class schedule here:

LIVE BANDS
If you aren't at Sunflower Swing you're missing the chance to indulge in a double dip of Live Music!  Pivot Point makes their debut playing for you on July 17th, while the Swing Daddies hit the studio like a hurricane on July 18th.  Each dance is $10, but it's cheaper with your weekend pass or if you volunteer!  Respond to the email to volunteer, go here to register:
