Hello dancers!  April is wrapping up but we have a little more dancing to squeeze in before it's gone! 
 
THIS WEEK
Sunday is our April Birthday Jam!  So come out and help everyone celebrate!  It's also another chance to register for Sunflower Swing for just $60 if you're a WSDS member!
 
Thursday is the dollar dance!  That's right, dancing in the middle of the week for just a buck.  We'll be in the studio basement from 7-9 PM with DJ'd swing music.  Come and join us!
