 | | | | | | Can You Name ALL Your Chances to Dance in July? OK, let's play a little game. WITHOUT scrolling down, see if you can name all the opportunities to dance in Wichita this month. I'll even give you a hint: ONE of them has already passed! You go ahead and guess. Read on to see if you got them all!
So first, of course, there are Swingin' Sundays.
So that's four chances right there. Then there's the Spangles dance on the first Thursday of each month (this is the one that's alreay behind us).
Then there's the Wright Brothers dance on the third Wednesday.
And, because it's summertime, we have a dance in the Warren Square in Old Town at the end of the month.
That makes SEVEN chances for you to get your dancing on this month! Bring on the awesome!
Remember that you can always stay on top of the month's schedule by following us on Facebook, and by grabbing yourself a copy of this flyer at the front desk on Sunday night:
| | Become and Embassador of Swing Do you remember your first Swingin' Sunday? Maybe you came with a friend, or a date. Maybe you braved it alone. Regardless, odds are you felt a little bit like an outsider when you saw our community for the first time. It's only natural. But the WSDS wants to make our newcomers feel as welcome as possible! We want them to keep coming back, and to take classes, so we can grow our scene and have ALL the dance partners! You can help this effort (and look cool doing it) by becoming a WSDS Embassador of Swing. Embassadors will make it clear that they welcome the company of newcomers by donning the Embassador's uniform:   Wearing the t-shirt lets people know you WANT to dance with them, so they don't have to feel shy about asking you on a Sunday night. Wearing it out around town shows the public that you, yes YOU know how to Swing dance in Wichita, and invites them to ask you how they can get involved. We'd love to see this t-shirt become the new black. We're charging $20 per shirt, which is what we need to pay for getting them printed. This isn't a profit-generating sale. Order yours by emailing WSDS Vice President Megan Pfieffer with your size. Payment may be made in person at the front desk on Sunday nights, or via paypal. Become an Embassador of Swing tonight! |

| | | | 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 that 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! | Video of the Week: | Make sure you sign up for a monthly class tonight! As always, we have beginning Lindy Hop, and this month we also have the Charleston! | |
