Falty and the Defects have been in high demand for Swing dance events since the group's formation. You are sure to enjoy dancing to their tunes, so don't miss this chance to get 'em for free! | | Useful Resources for Dancers You probably already know to read this newsletter and check the WSDS Facebook Page for local dance information, but here are a few very useful links for the avid swing dancer:
Swing PlanIt is a calendar of swing dance events from all over the world. The locations are so diverse, Swing PlanIT only specifies which COUNTRY is hosting the events. Don't worry, though, each calendar entry is linked to the event's website with all the relevant details. Swing PlanIt is a great place to check for what might be going on near you when you have a free weekend, or see what events you can hit up while you're travelling.
The swinginstyle YouTube channel posts Swing dance lesson recaps, performances, and competitions just about every day. If you can't make it out to a lot of workshops, this is a great resource for getting some new moves and finding inspiration.
WhatShouldWeCallSwingDance is a near-endless list of funny pictures and animations that capture relateable moments for Swing dancers. Be careful with this one, it will suck up ALL of your time.
