Upcoming Events:


We will have our November Birthday Jam on Sunday, November 30th. If your birthday is in November, don't miss it!

A special steals class will also be given at  6:30 on Nov 30th.  I am sure that you have seen John and Isaiah jump in and steal partners from each other. They are most certainly fun to watch. You can learn some of their moves. The price will be $6 for non members and $4 for members. 

Travel Opportunities:

If you're looking to meet more dancers and skyrocket your skills, there's no better way to do it than by traveling to some regional events! 'Tis the season for dancing in the Midwest. Check it out:

Austin Lindy Exchange in Austin, TX, November 21-23

Rock Chalk Swing in Lawrence KS, Feb 27-March 1st.  I will be selling this one hard. They have great instructors and it is sooooo close. I saw that we caravan up there!

Homework
Watch this and try and steal a move or two. Damon Stone and Heidi Fite are world renowned dance instructors. I have had the pleasure to dance with Damon a few times and it was most certainly a treat. Where ever he goes, there is always a long line of ladies waiting to dance with him. If you want a long line of people waiting to dance with you, learn to move your body like these two.

Favorite music

This week's song is Blues Boy Tune by BB King. Nearly twenty years ago I went to a msuic festival and got to see BB King play live. I was only 14 or so. I like to think that his bluesy tunes sank in that night and grew into a love for the music and dance many years later.
