Greetings! It has been a crazy week for us at Wednesday Night Hop! First off, we had an amazing Lindy Prom this year! Our prom committee really outdid themselves with the Bootlegger's Ball. If you would like to see the photos from the photo booth they can be found at our flickr account (see resources, section 4).
Special thanks to the prom committee, Double or Nothing, Danse Libre, Swing Cats Rhythm Revue, the photo booth volunteers and other helping hands. Thanks also Leadership Public School for having Trevor and Audrey come teach the high school kids how to dance and for organizing the trip over to WNH! Our prom king and queen were Josh and Sami from the Week Without Walls program at this charter high school.
Second, Wednesday Night Hop participated in a fantastic birthday celebration for Frankie Manning at the 9:20 Special with the Level 3 class performing the Big Apple routine in honor of the man who choreographed it! We donated a quarter of our profits this month to the Frankie Manning Fund contributing to a total of 00 from most bay area dance venues and individual contributions!
Finally, this newsletter is somewhat late because a huge representation of bay area swing dancers including many of Wednesday Night Hop organizers were in Seattle for some great Lindy Hopping this Memorial Day weekend at Camp Jitterbug! A spontaneous and well attended field trip. It was great to see some familiar faces up there!
See you on the dance floor!

The fantastic fun does not stop with Carl Sonny Leyland playing at Wednesday Night Hop this week! This band is not to be missed. Carl knows how to play for dancers with shorter songs, a driving beat and excitement at his fingertips tickling the ivories.
DJ Alex P. fills in for us on the band breaks and we will pursued the Level 3 Big Apple class show us how hard they have been working on this routine!
