Hello dancers! If you missed Ronnie Choy last week you really missed out, we had a great crowd. But don't worry, we have another great night of dancing planned for you this week. I also want to remind you that Sunflower Swing passes are available for purchase! You can get a full weekend of classes and dances, or just purchase admission to all the evenings of dancing! Just a reminder we'll be featuring the Grand Marquis from Kansas City and Pivot Point from right here in Wichita to keep you dancing to live music!

Not only can you dance Sunday night, but we have two bonus chances for you to dance, and at unbelievably low prices!
Thursday you can jaunt on down to the studio and dance from 7-9 PM in the basement for just $1!!!!!
Saturday the 28th we'll be at the Old Farmer's Market to kick off Memorial Day Weekend with live music from the DanceKatz from 10 AM to Noon. Plus it's FREE!!!! That's right, FREE dancing to a live band, so get out of bed and get down there, it's going to be a good time.
