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
If you, like me,  love all forms of dancing under the swing umbrella, you should check out Boston Tea Party
Here is one of my favorite compitions to watch. The premis is that Lindyhoppers are matched with West Coast dancers and they each have a song in their own style. They often take their dance to an almost comic level. The whole month of August WSDS will offer Wes Coast stylings for Lindy Hop. Which is a drop in class at 6:30. So as long as you have taken the beginning Lindy Hop class, you may join us. Since we have 5 Sundays this month, the pricing is a little different.  If you are a member and pay for the whole month in advance you pay $25 nonmembers are $35. Drop in is still $6 for nonmembers and $8 for the 6:30 class. Now enjoy Nina and Ben winning the 2013 competition. They are both so comfortable in each dance that they can be really playful. I especially love all of the fast turns.

Travel Opportunities:

If you're looking to meet more dancers and skyrocket your skills, there's no better way than to hop in the car and find a weekend workshop.  
 

Cowtown Jamborama in Omaha Nebraska, Sep10th-13th. Wichita will have many of our dancers competing, come and cheer them on. Also enjoy the fabulous international teachers, fantastic live bands, and fun friends old and new. Can you say Paaaarrrtaaay?

Kansas City Stomp in Kansas City KS, Oct 16th-18th. This fantastic workshop weekend is only hours away. If you have never traveled for dance before, this is a great event to get your feet wet at. There will be a gaggle of familiar dancers there with you, great classes to take and hours upon hours of dancing to be had. Get a hold of Amy if you want to save some cash and get in on the group rate.


Favorite music

This week's song is  All of Me by Sidney Bechet. This cover is fantastic. I really love it when I can her playfulness between the musicians. The piano, trumpet and saxophone have such a wonderful energy in this song.
