Wichita Swing Dance Society

Hello dancers!  Sunflower Swing is getting closer, it's time to get excited!  Need reasons why?  Check out www.wichitaswingdance.com!
 
We still are looking for volunteers and hosts.  Volunteering will save you money to participate in the event, and hosting will give you a chance to meet out of town dancers! 
 
Also bring your $$ on July 11th, as we'll extend the special one last time:  $50 for a Sunflower Swing Weekend Pass to the first 5 people to register!  That includes all the dances, all the classes, all the bands!
 
THIS WEEK
Sunday WE WILL NOT BE DANCING.  Enjoy celebrating the birth of our nation!
 
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:
