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 competitions to watch. The premise is that Lindy hoppers 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 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. 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 Peter Strom and Stacy Kay getting down.

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.  
 

Lindy on the Rocks in Denver Co, July 30th-Aug 2nd. We may even have a group of dancers going to this. They have a long list of fantastic teachers and live bands.  I am having so much fun here, I wish that all of you were here joining in on the fun. Let's be sure to have you all register for the next event listed below, Cowtown, so that you don't miss out on more fun!

Cowtown Jamborama in Omaha Nebraska, Sep10th-13th. Wichita always represents well here. Great teachers, amazing friends, and fantastic live bands. 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 Megan Pfeiffer if you want to say some cash and get in on the group rate.


Favorite music

This week's song is  My Heart Belongs to Daddy by The Boilermaker Jazz Band. The clarinetist is the leader of the band and he is actually here in Colorado right now as I type this. I enjoyed every single song that he and his specially assembled band played last night. Anytime that you get to hear live  quality classic Jazz music  AND you get to dance, I suggest you go. It will be worth your money.

Oh my gosh guys, this is GREAT. This is filmed earlier than we tend to focus on our dance but these dancers are even doing a break away. They have some fun style moves that I plan on learning too.
