The Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, Charleston, Balboa, Collegiate Shag, & Blues Dance Mailing List of Swing Buffalo (for Buffalo and the surrounding area)...
This is it guys! The big dance workshop is HERE! Buffalo Hop is THIS SATURDAY with a workshop starting at 2pm taught by Waterloo Swing Crew. The Lindy Hoppers in Waterloo are fantastic dancers. Do not miss this opportunity to get some top notch instruction right here in Buffalo. And it's only $8 (students: $5) for the entire* workshop due to the outstanding generosity of all involved! In fact, any money that's made goes to benefit Grassroots Gardens of Buffalo. You may have heard us on the radio this past weekend promoting the event. We're geared up here and ready to go. All we need is you! We will be raffling off prizes. There will be performances, a guest DJ, a potluck dinner, not to mention great classes, and there are even rumblings of an after hours blues party! You'll have an opportunity to strut your stuff and perform what you learned. Go to the website for maps, schedule, class descriptions, a promo video, & more!
Other news: Two new dances are debuting in the next week: with the resumption of classes comes the UB Swing Dance Club's weekly Wednesday Swing Practice and the newest dance: Eight O'Clock Jump, hosted by Sam on Fridays. I heard last night that UB's first big dance will be Saturday September 6th. More details on that next week...
* The Buffalo Hop dance is the regular price.
