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
Tandem Charleston is such a wonderful tool to have in your dance move toolbox. It provides a lot of visual punch for little energy. This is especially useful during live and fast music. This couple does a fair amount of it during this dance which helps maintain their stamina. There are more than a few moves in here that I have never seen before, enjoy!

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! 

Alamo Stomp in San Antonio TX, Feb 6-8th. Our treasured Evan Borst just so happens to be the emcee for this event. If you go then you are sure to know at least one person.

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 say that we caravan up there!

Lindy Diversion in Denver Co, March 6th-8th. If you love a variety of music and swing dance styles, this is a killer event. 

Lindyfest and Lonestar Championships in Houston TX, March 12-15th. If you love watching the best of the best compete and love taking classes from world class instructors, this is your event. You could even make a few hundred new friends by the end. 

Rocky Mountain Girl Jam in Denver CO, April 24th-26th. After our own Sunflower Swing, you may not want the party to stop so head on over to Denver to dance the weekend away.

Blue Bonnet Bash in Dallas TX, June 5th-7th. 

Greenwood Swingout in Tulsa OK, May 22nd-24th. A guaranteed fun time! You can expect a great turnout from our group.

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.

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.
