| The Funny Section: | First Time Solo Competition  | | | | | | | Solo Dance Contest TONIGHT
Good afternoon Wichita! Remember last month's Solo Jazz Potpourri series class? Well, not for nothing did we give you the chance to brush up on your solo skills! Tonight, we will hold a solo dance competition for all who are bold enough to enter! Partner dancing isn't the ONLY way to Swing, and we hope to see lots of you strut your stuff at the contest! Never seen a solo contest before? Here's one I really like:

A hearty thank you to all who joined us at the Wright Brothers on Wednesday! We had a nice crowd and kept the dance floor warm until after 10pm. If you missed out this time, remember that we'll be there each month on the third Wednesday from 6-9 (at least). Hope to see you there in February!
| | | Strictly Lindy Contest February 23rd I have exciting news about February 23rd's Swingin' Sunday: We're having a contest! Sunflower Swing is just around the corner, and it's a perfect time to brush up on your competing skills before the big weekend. Join us for a "bracket-style" Strictly Lindy contest on the 23rd. For those of you who may not know "Strictly" contests have to be entered as a couple, not an individual, so talk to your favorite partners tonight and decide who you'll enter with. We've done Strictly contests at Sunflower Swing before, (see video below) but never with bracket-style eliminations, so it should be an interesting contest to watch!

This local dance club has been meeting every Monday evening for years, working on swing dance vocabulary, technique, and musicality. The Lindy Bombers can also put you in touch with the Shiny Stockings and Five Moes Named Guy, Wichita's solo-jazz troupes. And, if you're REALLY motivated, the Lindy Bombers are also your gateway to Hot Rhythm Revival, Wichita's competitive swing dancing team. There are lots of options out there, come check them out! | Video of the Week: |
