WSDS Weekly 11/21/12

Hello dancers! 

 

Thank you for the great success of the Dance Through The Ages dance.  Finish your holiday weekend by joining us for the drop in class starting at 7:30 PM and open dancing from 8-10 PM.  We will also celebrate our November babies with the birthday jam.

 

Beginning Lindy Hop and Advanced East Coast Swing are the series classes for December.  For those that have completed Beginning Lindy Hop 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.  Otherwise, the cost is $20 for member and $30 for non-members.

 

Sunday, December 2nd Goodwill Industries has asked us to share our gift of dancing at their annual fundraiser Festival of Trees at Century II from 1-2 pm.  Admission is free for dancers and a guest.  Additional guests cost $5.  Enter at the northeast side of the building; it has a Festival of Trees banner.  Inform those taking tickets you are a performer with the Wichita Swing Dance Society.  Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to check-in upstairs in the balcony.  

 

Join us for lunch in Old Town before we dance at the Festival of Trees.  We will meet at 11:00 AM for lunch, and then head over to Century II.  Please contact Megan for more information and your RSVP at vicepresident@wichitaswingdance.com.

 

Sunday, December 9th join us for our Christmas Party.  We will have live music from the Tulsa band Branjae and the Swing Sets, plus dance performances from Shiny Stockings and Hot Rhythm Revival and other surprises.

 

We will have a professional photographer taking action pictures during the event, and you can hold whatever pose you're in at the Photo Booth.

 

Price: Free for WSDS Members, $10 for Non-Members

 

You are encouraged to dress to impress and bring food to share.
