Wichita Swing Dance Society

Hello dancers!  It's been a busy June but we still have more great dancing for you.  First thing is first though:
 
DO YOU HAVE YOUR PASS TO SUNFLOWER SWING?  It's less than a month away, and will feature two days of workshops as well as three nights of dancing and two live bands!!!!!  If you don't have you pass yet you can buy it on Sunday or go to www.sunflowerswing.com now and purchase right away. 
 
If you're ready to really party, get your weekend pass that gets you into all the classes and all the dances.  If you're just interested in the evening activities, only $20 will get you an anniversary pass and admission to all the dances!
 
Take a few minutes to go get your pass, I'll wait......
