Sunflower Swing will begin in a mere FIVE DAYS with our Friday night dance, at 8pm in our usual location. The Friday night dance will include demos from our instructors, a Jack & Jill competition featuring many of our out-of-town guests, a new performance routine from the Shiny Stockings, and a Strictly BATTLE competition during late night. Dancing begins at 11am on Saturday, when we'll all meet up at the Warren Square downtown for an outdoor social dance. Elective classes will then run from 2-4pm at Care to dance. Saturday night, we'll hit the dance floor again at 8pm, with breaks for Wichita's legendary 60 Second Showdown, Jungle Madness, and the Chicken Sandwich competition! On Sunday, classes will run from 10:30am-3:30pm (with a lunch break), and of course we'll be dancing Sunday night as usual!
