Extra Extra!
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.

Valentines Variety Show

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

1/25- 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.

See you next week!
