WSDS Weekly 8/30/12

Hello dancers!

Start your week with Swinging Sunday's. Dance your way into the possibility of winning a free pass with Dance Card Sunday.

WSDS has partnered with Living Social for a deal of the day. Take the opportunity to save money and pass it along to family and friends. http://www.livingsocial.com/cities/196-wichita/deals/447496-one-month-of-swing-dance-classes

Beginning and Intermediate Lindy Hop are the series classes for September. For those that have completed Beginning or Intermediate Lindy previously, the cost for the month to refresh your skills is $16 for members ($4 a week) and $24 ($6 a week) for non-members.

Please note a change in our policy: We are placing a ban on bringing snacks to share.

Find us on Facebook at Wichita Swing Dance Society and Sunflower SwingWichita.

We have been invited to collaborate with the band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. The society is looking at ways to get as many members interested and involved in the process. Look for more information to follow.
