----------------------------------------------------------------------------
DJ Alex Fernandez gears us up for Swingin' At The Savoy!
We'll do a little demo, play a little game, and get down this Wednesday in preparation for the weekend! Join the fun! We have a few of the biggest prizes we've ever given out for this stuff this week. Come out and see what it's all about.

2. Swingin' at the Savoy! Feb. 24-26 with Norma Miller & Chazz Young!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even if you are a beginner dancer weekend workshops like this one are a really great way to improve your dancing and understand what it is all about! Check out this testimonial I just got today:
"When I first started dancing, it really didn't occur to me to go to a Frankie workshop until someone convinced me to go - and I am glad they did. I was so happy and learned so much that day. I really hope that we can explain this event to beginner dancers well enough. Most of us have all been there, they are probably the ones to benefit from an event like this the most."
Norma Miller, Chazz Young, Chester Whitmore, and MORE MORE MORE! Coming up so this weekend on February 24th, 25th and 26th. That's right three days of workshop classes, dances, lectures, panels, contests, door prizes and more more more!
Join the tradition of hosting a slew of people on every surface of whatever home you have to offer to out of town guests. Fill out our housing form and be cool. It's a super fun way to meet your fellow dancers and to start travelling yourselves:
