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
Todd Yannacone and Ramona Staffeld are always a solid bet when searching for inspirational videos to take dance moves from. I love all of the nontraditional ways that Todd turns Ramona. If you want to learn some similar moves, the whole month of August WSDS will offer West Coast styling 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. Drop in is $6 for nonmembers and $8 for the 6:30 class. Only two more Sundays to get in on these moves before soul night!!!

Favorite music

This week's song is a video of You Really Got a Hold of Me by Smokey Robinson. I am the first to admit that I have ALWAYS loved this video. Every time I hear this song THIS video comes to mind. You will have a laugh. Enjoy.

Vintage Clips: 

If you have seen swing dancing in movies, you have these dancers to thank. In a time that races were still divided they were able to take what they had at the Savoy and share it with the world. Take a few minutes to read up on Whitey's Lindy Hoppers
