Wichita Swing Dance Society

Hello dancers!  It's December and while the weather gets colder the dancing is heating up.  I want to take a second to address all of you non-members out there.
 
A one year membership costs $15 for students, military, and people over 55.  For everyone else it costs $25.  If you joined this Sunday, you wouldn't pay to get in, and save $6.  The next week is our Christmas party, and being a member saves you $10.  The two weeks left in December let you save $2 each. 
 
Add all that up and it means joining as a new member in December saves you $20!  That's almost an entire year paying for itself in one month!  I'm not saying you'd be foolish not to join but........
 
THIS WEEK
Saturday we have a bonus chance to dance as part of the Festival of Trees at Century II.  We'll be providing entertainment from 2:30 - 3:30 PM and we need your help!  Anyone who wants to dance is welcome, the more the merrier!  Contact Missy with questions at vicepresident@wichitaswingdance.com

Sunday is Dance Card Sunday!  Plus it's the start of a new taster class!  Our studio host and swing dance hall of fame member Harry Reese is teaching West Coast Swing!  Check out the lessons schedule:
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 West Coast Swing (basement)
 
BIG EVENTS
December 12th is our Christmas Party!  As a special gift to our members, you get in free!  Pivot Point will be providing the live music from 7-10 PM!  So get in the holiday mood and come out for a great night of dancing.  Also feel free to bring a snack to make the night extra festive!  Door prizes will be given away so don't miss out....
 
December 31st we're giving you the best chance to swing in the New Year!  We'll be at Harry's from 9 PM until it's 2011 dancing it up!  Tickets will go on sale in the coming weeks.  In the meanwhile, we're looking for volunteers to help make the event a success.  Respond to this email if you're interested!
