Subject: SwingBuffalo - LFotR @ Colored Musicians Club this Monday!
The Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, Charleston, Balboa, Collegiate Shag, & Blues Dance Mailing List of Swing Buffalo (for Buffalo and the surrounding area)...
Lindy Fix is on the Road again this Monday with another live band! This week, we'll be dancing to the George Scott Big Band at the Colored Musicians Club from 7:30-10 with a half hour lesson starting at 7:30. The band will be playing upstairs. Note that they have to buzz the door to let you in. The door is rather nondescript on the left front of the building. Just ring the buzzer and wave to the camera above! Also note that the name of the street is Broadway STREET. Don't put "avenue" into google maps (or your GPS) because it will take you to West Seneca instead of downtown Buffalo. Also, check out Swing Dance Thursdays tonight!

Beginner Jitterbug Lesson 8-8:30
This is the one and only lindy event in Buffalo and it's located on the up-and-coming Grant Street area. Buffalo is finally on its way to establishing a lindy scene. For those of you who don't know, Lindy Hop is a form of swing dancing that came about in the late 20s and early 30s. It went through a resurgence in the mid to late 90s and is going strong across the US and dozens of other coutries. Swing dances featuring lindy are a very social event. Everyone dances with everyone, though it's not typicslly a dating venue. Swing is a lifestyle based on the pure joy of dance: focussed on fun. So bring your spirits and prepare to smile! Beginners are not only wanted, they are required! We need you to make this happen!
DJ'd swing music will feature Big Band, classic swing like the Rat Pack & Ella, Blues, & other popular contemporary swing music.
