This coming Wednesday will be a special edition of Swing Night at the Wright Brothers. Believe it or not, it's been a WHOLE YEAR since we started dancing there on the third Wednesday of each month! Come celebrate the anniversary with DJ Evan Borst and the Wright Brothers Staff, who have graciously hosted us these last twelve months. Remember, this event is fro dancers 21 and over. For more family-friendly dancing, you can look forward to dancing in Old Town on Wednesday, July 30th! In the meantime, there is of course SWINGIN' SUNDAY! Come dance with us tonight, and 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 Ambassador 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 Ambassador of Swing. Ambassadors will make it clear that they welcome the company of newcomers by donning the Ambassador'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 can be made at the front door on any Sunday night. Become an Ambassador of Swing today! | | | | | | | | | This Month's Music Brought to you By: | | 7/6 - Chelsea 7/13 - Sonya 7/20 - Evan 7/27 - Chelsea 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: Apparently, there is a World Cup of Lindy Hop! Here's the video of the strictly finals from this event, held in March of this year: video! | |
