So take the opportunity to come out and get your dancing in, because the major eating holidays are around the corner and dancing beats jogging!
 
THIS WEEK
Saturday is our beginning Lindy Hop workshop!  We'll get started from scratch, so come on out to the studio if you want to learn the basics or just polish them.  Class runs 12-2, only $10, see you there!
 
Sunday is dance card Sunday!  That means door prizes and fun, don't miss out.
 
BIG EVENTS
November 14th is our annual Sock Hop with the Dance Man Ronnie Choy!  Dust off your poodle skirt, grease back that hair and prepare for a very fun evening.  Also, bring your favorite snack to share so the evening is even a bit more festive!  A definite must attend event for the fun-seeking dancer.
 
December 12th is our Christmas Party!  And as our gift to all of you, WSDS Members are FREE!!!  We'll have Pivot Point playing live from 7 till 10 PM for your dancing enjoyment.  We'll provide some prizes for the evening, you provide some food:  bring a snack to share!  Non-members can join the party for $10.
 
December 31st we'll swing in the New Year!  Yes indeed, the swingingest party in town is back again, and this year it's right at home at the Harry Reese Dance Studio.  Food, dancing and fun are to be expected, be on the lookout for more details.
