Who knew? It's almost June! Next week, we'll be kicking off the new month with live music, presenting you Steve Lucky and the Rhumba Bums! They were among the first neo-swing bands to modernize and re-invent the jump swing genre while staying true to their musical roots. With a warm and loving sound that would please Louis Jordan, they manage to convey a sense of cool hipness through their fun, playful music. Led by the mischievous Steve Lucky on piano and vocals and the vivacious Miss Carmen Getit on lead guitar and vocals, the band's chemistry is hot enough to melt metal. They are an amazing band with an amazing horn and rhythm section that can't be beat.

1. THIS WEEK: 5th Week Special Classes! Frankie's Birthday! Flash Mob Routine! DJ ***!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The current month of May has five Wednesdays in it, and we're always very excited when it happens! Our series are scheduled for four sessions, so when we have an extra week, we use it to bring you some special classes, special topics -- something that you want and we would love to teach, but that doesn't fit into the four-week series. These classes are always drop-in; check out the schedule below!
Frankie Manning, the founding father of Lindy Hop, was born on May 26, and every year we're very excited to celebrate his birthday. We have special activities planned to celebrate the love and the joy he brought to the dance, and how he touched the heart of every person that got lucky to see him and interact with him. Some of us weren't that lucky, as we never got to witness him alive; but his legacy is passed on.
We're finishing teaching the Flash Mob routine this week! Are you guys excited? Are you ready to go out into the world and perform it? Let's do it!
