Wichita Swing Dance Society

Hello dancers!  Thanks to everyone who came out last week to usher in our new lesson format.  If you missed it, here's how things work now:
 
6:30 - 7:15 Beginning Single Time East Coast Swing
7:15 - 8:00 Intermediate/Advanced Single Time East Coast Swing
7:00 - 8:00 Rotating Taster Class (basement)
8:00 - 10:00 Dance!!
 
The Int/Adv East Coast and Taster Class are progressive through each month which means no repeats and more challenging material for you!
 
THIS WEEK
Saturday at Abode the White Ghost Shivers are playing!  They're high energy and well worth the time to get out and dance.
 
Sunday is our SOCKHOP!!!!  Ronnie Choy will be our DJ for the evening, and that means you'll want to lace up those dancing shoes extra tight.  Be sure to help make it a great party by dressing up 50's style, as well as bringing your favorite snack to share with your favorite dancers!
 
BIG EVENTS
November 20th we're having a special dance at Old Town Ballroom from 8-11 PM.  We'll have some special out of town guests including internationally known Nick Williams and Nina Gilkensen.  Come dance the night away with us!
 
December 12th is our Christmas Party!  We'll have live music courtesy of Pivot Point from 7-10 PM for your dancing enjoyment.  We'll even throw in some prizes if all of you will contribute some food to share.  Members get in FREE as our Christmas present to you!  Everyone else can join the fun for just $10.
 
December 31st we're going to usher in 2011 the best way we know how:  dancing!  We're bringing the party back home to the dance studio this year.  Count on food, fun, and plenty of dancing.  Keep your ears open for more details to come.
