1. THIS WEEK: June 24th - Jack & Jill Contest!!! DJ Naomi Walenta!
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Jack & Jill Contest
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are keeping the fun rolling with our Jack & Jill contest this week! Dust off those competition shoes and get ready to rock! This is a fun competition for all dancers. Jack & Jill competitions originated over 40 years ago and are designed to showcase a competitor's skills in spontaneous swing dancing and their ability to dance well with a variety of partners to randomly selected music. It is the ultimate fun lead/follow social dance contest that you, yes YOU, can enter!

Competitors enter individually and are randomly assigned to several partners. Partner selection is luck of the draw. During the preliminaries, couples will be judged in heats and will rotate partners as many times as deemed necessary by the judges. During the final, each dancer will be peer judged individually as a leader or a follower. Contest music and the order in which it is played will be selected by the DJ. The winners will receive fabulous prizes including SFLX tix! sflindyexchange.com/

Invite your friends and register ($1.00 entry fee) at the DJ booth on June 24th.

3. Band Night - Le Jazz Hot - July 1st!
---------------------------------------------------------------------

They're back! The Jazz Hot (sometimes known as The Hot Club of San Francisco) plays Gypsy jazz music inspired by Django Reinhardt. They are dedicated to preserving and educating the masses about Django and his music. On their website, they say that "once you hear it, you can't forget it. It is sophisticated, yet it has a sentimental quality. It is delicate, but the rhythms are played at breakneck speed. It has a swinging, jazzy feel but many of the songs are waltzes." Flamboyant and melancholy, this music has a depth that most will find touches their core. Join us on Wednesday, July 1st on the big dance floor for Band Night!
