We want to hear what you think. If you have an idea let us know. Got a concern on your mind, lay it on us. We want your experience to be fun and worry free. Homework So, I try and highlight dances that we will be teaching soon in videos that I post. Typing in tandem charleston only gets you clips and I wanted something with more oomph and I sure did find it. You can see it here and so much more. The energy that these professional dancers show is contagious. I found myself cheering more than a few times.   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!  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! Spend your Valentines Day with some of your favorite local dancers. There will be a vintage variety show, followed by a dance. We have a limited number of tickets for sale. Favorite music This week's song is actually a link to a whole album that I just bought. You should recognize some of her songs since we play them often enough on Sunday nights. You should buy this album too, 32 songs for $8.99 is hard to beat. Check out "Snatch and Grab It" "I Didn't Like It The First Time" and my favorite, "Lotus Blossom". This month's music brought to you by... 1/4- Evan 1/11- Chelsea 1/18- Evan 1/25- Sonya Dancing Around Town January 21st  The Wright Brothers 6:00-9:00 Stay tuned to Facebook for impromptu meetups. Vintage Clips:  Another clip of Whitey's Lindy Hoppers from a movie that I had not yet seen. Not only are they fast and fantastic but one of these dancers may be Shorty George, the creator of his namesake move. The video quality is not great so I cannot tell for sure. Regardless, their energetic dancing puts a smile on my face.    Did you know that Sunflower Swing is coming up? Well it is! If you want to save some cash on the admission price by volunteering, please email SunflowerSwing@gmail.com. We also need hosts for our out of dancers. If you have floor space and a shower you can host! Shoot us an email and we can match you with a dancer from out of town. They would greatly appreciate it.

Vintage Clips:  The classic Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Their tap dancing is lovely and they float across the floor.    We are in the thick of winter and traipsing through the snow. Lets try and keep that snow off the dance floor. If you are able to wear different shoes outside and change into the shoes that you are going to dance in once you get inside, we would greatly appreciate it. If you are wondering about good dance shoes, many of us wear Keds. I have found them at Kohls and JC Pennys.

Their personal style is strong and they seamlessly incorporate solo moves into their partnered dancing.

I spotted at least four solo moves in this video that will be taught this month. All of the moves that you learn in this class can be added to your partner dancing. All skill levels are encouraged to take this class. If you are wanting to learn Lindy Hop (the dance that these two are doing) you are in luck!

Sunflower Swing!!!!

Registration is live. If you want to scoop up one of the cheap tickets to our yearly workshop in April, go to this website to grab one. They will not last long. Not only do we have fantastic teachers, but the djs will be spinning tunes late into the night. Bonus: Classes do not start until after lunch, so you can dance all night long and then sleep in to be refreshed for all of the dance moves that will be jumping into your brain.
