Calling out to all the good citizens of Wednesday Night Hop-land! Come one, come all to the Town Hall Meeting!
WNH is growing fast, and all thanks to your constant encouragement and support. Swinging At The Savoy workshop, for example, is an event put together mainly by WNH team, and this year it was bigger than ever. We hope for even a bigger event next year! But, we can't make it grow without expanding our team. We need fresh ideas, extra helping hands, and all that energy that you bring to our dances! Do you want to be involved with organizing the SATS workshop next year? Or maybe you want to contribute to our weekly dances? To that end, we're going to hold a Town Hall Meeting. Everyone is invited! Come and share your ideas!
When? Sunday, June 30, 3pm.
Where? at Cheryl Burke.
Can't wait to see you!
Registration for Summer Swing is now open! What is Summer Swing, you ask? Summer Swing is a great opportunity to get into the magical world of Swing dancing! It is three months of beginning Lindy Hop lessons for the price of two, and that includes all the dances as well as three live band nights. Summer Swing will start in July, and will continue throughout August and September; sign up, let all your friends know, spread the Lindy love!
