At 7:30 we'll have our usual intro to Swing class, followed by DJed music from 8-10.

It's going to be a great time! Dance Night at Wright Brothers Bar May 21 Don't miss out on this chance to dance! WSDS DJ extraordinaire Evan Borst will be spinning tunes from 6:00-9:00pm tonight at the Wright Brothers Bar, 6518 W Kellogg. Please purchase a beverage to support this venue. Buying food supports the hotel next door, but money for drinks (alcoholic or not) goes straight to the bar, who hosts us. This event is for dancers 21 years of age and older. Good to know: Any time a WSDS member brings a new dancer to Swingin' Sunday for the first time, both people get in for half price! That's a grand total of $5 for two people. You won't find a better deal than taht anywhere. We Need YOU: The WSDS is looking for volunteers to help us manage Sunday nights! If you've been dancing with us for a while, and would like a chance to give something back to the scene, please email us and let us know! We will really appreciate your help. 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!
