Sundance Swingout in Ft.

Keep an eye out for dancers wearing the official Ambassador of Swing t-shirt. These folks want to dance as much as possible, so don't be shy about asking them!
If you're looking to get more dances yourself, ask the volunteers at the front desk tonight how you can order your OWN Ambassador's shirt. They are $20, comfy, and oh-so-stylish.
Last week's Ambassadors were a bunch of hams!
| | Ask a Newbie to Dance Tonight Attention WSDS Members! We have noticed an unusually large wave of new dancers hitting the floor in the past few weeks. They've been brave enough to step into our scene, now it's up to us to keep them coming! Take a look at this evening's East Coast students, make a mental note, and be sure to ask these nice people for a dance or two later on.  Not sure who these people are? Ask 'em to dance and find out!
Reaching out to "dance babies" is a crucial part of keeing the WSDS alive, and as a bonus, it's totally FUN. | | August Announcements NEW CLASS FORMAT ON SUNDAY NIGHTS! Remember, the new class format begins this month! If you missed the announcement in last month'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 Frankin, 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.

And, if you're REALLY motivated, the Lindy Bombers are also your gateway to Hot Rhythm Revival, Wichita's competitive swing dancing team.
