And to up your enthusiasm a bit more, I have it on fairly good authority that the Lindy Bombers are going to put on a show for you tonight! It's going to be a great dance tonight; you don't want to miss it!  | | | Upcoming Frebruary Events Don't forget that THIS WEDNESDAY is another Swing Night at the Wright Brothers Bar! Join your WSDS friends for food, drinks, and dancing in a relaxed atmosphere.  NEXT SUNDAY is the last Sunday of the month, and we're sending February off with a Strictly* competition! Sidle on up to your favorite partner TONIGHT and ask him or her to enter with you for a chance to win a slot in Sunflower Swing's Strictly! *Never done a Strictly competition before? There's nothing to it! Simply enter with a partner and be prepared to show off. Unlike a Jack & Jill, you won't rotate partners during the competition, so don't be scared! Come on out and give it a try! | | | Sunflower Swing Update
Sunflower Swing is less than three months away! We are so excited for our lineup of instructors that we've put together a little promotional video to get the word out:

There might even be a hug in it for you. | | More Swing Dancing in Wichita: | If you want to take your swing dancing to the next level, check out the Lindy Bombers! 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: | As much as I love a good performance video, there's nothing that inspires me quite like the recollections of those responsible for the birth of Lindy Hop. In this vide, Frankie Manning reminisces about this first time at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem, NY: Check it Out | |
