| | | | | | WSDS Dancers Represent at Aviation Museum Gala Good evening dancers!
The Wichita Swing Dance Society was invited to take part in the Kansas Aviation Museum's Annual Gala on Saturday. They wanted a couple to come out, do a quick performance, and dance with the event attendants for a little while.
Rising stars Brandon Whalen and Ava Johnston were more than equal to the task, impressing the crowd and then jamming with them late into the night! Several of the attending aviation enthusiasts plan on stopping by Swingin' Sunday this evening, so be sure to show our newcomers a great time!

If you think you might be interested in performing in local gigs like this one, you should check out the Lindy Bombers. The Lindy Bombers meet every Monday evening for intermediate/advanced swing lessons and team practices. Most often, if the WSDS needs performers, it pulls them from this group of dancers.
| | Shiny Stockings Begin Work on New Number As you may be aware, Wichita is home to the all-female solo jazz dance troupe The Shiny Stockings. These talented ladies have been performing original choreography at Wichita Swing dance events for several years, most recently at Sunflower Swing 2014.
This month, the Shiny Stockings have started working on a brand new routine that so adorable, so charming, and so delightful that you will not want to miss it! I have it on good authority that the troupe plans to perform it soon. . . VERY soon. So keep an eye out for further announcements, because you will not want to miss it!
