Wichita Swing Dance Society

Hello dancers!  A few quick announcements for you:
 
1) THERE WILL BE NO SWINGIN' SUNDAYS THIS WEEK ON ACCOUNT OF THE GAME.  I REPEAT, NO DANCING ON FEBRUARY 6TH
 
2) We're working to improve our online presence, and we want you to be part of it!  Check out our website:
And check out our new facebook page:
 
3) Wichita is being represted at the heartland swing festival this March by the Lindy Bombers.  We'll be competing in multiple contests as a team, couples, and individuals.  We could use your help to get there and we're willing to give you something in return:
 
Saturday February 12 at Harry's from 1-4 PM we're teaching the Big Apple!  For just $15 you can learn a solo jazz routine we love, and have a ton of fun!  It's a fundraiser to help send us to Iowa, so please show your support while you learn a new dance!
 
4) Thanks to everyone who voted for our representatives in the Miss Heartland Pinup Contest!  One of our representatives, Chelsea Rothschild, made the final 12!  Wish her luck as she goes on to attempt to win the inaugural Miss Heartland crown!
