Thanks very much to all of you who patiently waited through the rain on Wednesday last week so that we could rally and hold our outdoor dance on Friday. If you missed the announcement about postponing the dance, make sure you've liked us on Facebook. When we have to make short-notice changes, that's the place we do it.
We had a great time on Friday, dancing in front of the Warren Square's many shoppers and movie-goers. A bunch of them picked up WSDS fliers, so be prepared for some new faces tonight!
| | Ambassador of Swing T-Shirts are HERE! Brace yourself for the cuteness:  T-SHIRTS ARE HERE! We has a blast wearing these at Old Town on Friday. They are comfy, cute, versatile, and stylish. If you ordered one for yourself, you can pick it up at the front desk tonight! And if you're kicking yourself for NOT ordering one, get there early and snap up one of the extras we bought. They're not going to last long! | | August Announcements NEW CLASS FORMAT ON SUNDAY NIGHTS! Remember, the new class format begins tonight! If you missed the announcement in last week's newsletter, here's the bottom line: Our Beginning classes are going to include more variety. This month is Lindy Hop, but next month will be a different style, October will be yet another, and so on. Meanwhile, the Intermediate class will be more nuanced and blend the different styles together. If you're a new student, we hope to see you in Lindy Hop tonight! And if you're a pro, you should DEFINITELY check out the new Intermediate series this month. It will likely challenge you in new ways.
MEMBERSHIP MEETING AUGUST 31:
Because August is a 5-Sunday month, we're holding a membership meeting on the last Sunday. Everyone is welcome.
SOUL NIGHT AUGUST 31:
You do NOT want to miss Swingin' Sunday on the 31st! We're having a long-overdue SOUL NIGHT, complete with a Soul Train. If you love Soul music (think Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, The Temptations, Same Cooke. . .) or if you like to get your Westie on, this is going to be the best dance of your summer.

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: | Check out this new routine from Denver's all-female solo jazz team, the Diamond Dolls. It's a particularly great example of how to use formations. | | |
