Last week many of our local dancers headed up to Omaha Nebraska for a weekend of live music, vintage clothes shopping, delicious food eating, classes taught by internationally accomplished dancers, and dancing into the wee hours of the morning. We even had TWO, yes TWO teams compete in the team competition. Our very own Hot Rhythm Revival got second place!!! Make sure to congratulate them tonight. If you want to see the other Wichita team that competed, make sure to show up before 9:00 tonight. You are in for a treat!
