Summer is winding down, and we've got to make the most of the last warm months. Join us downtown in the Warren Square this Wednesday for an outdoor dance from 8-10pm. This dance is FREE, open to all ages, and provides great exposure for the WSDS. Hope to see you there!
Wouldn't you like to have as much fun as these two?
| | Ask a. . . not-Newbie to Dance Tonight Attention new dancers! We know you're out there. We've noticed how you started coming a few weeks back, and we've seen you go from fumbling through your first rock-step to easily breezing through the 7:30 class. It's time to up your game, new dancer. You have the skills, and tonight you'll have the opportunity. Break out of your comfort zone and ask someone new to dance. Not another new dancer, someone you've watched before and thought "Oh that person knows what they're doing." Don't be intimidated. They WANT to be asked to dance, just as much as you do. Summon your courage and ask; by the end of the dance, you'll be a better lead/follow and have a new friend!  This is how dancers make friends.
| | SOUL NIGHT APPROACHES
You do NOT want to miss Swingin' Sunday next week! 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.

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: | Apologies for the quality of this video; there's just something about a dark room that attracts the combination of Swing & Soul | | |
