Subject: SwingBuffalo - Lindy Fix is Moving January 2010
The Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, Charleston, Balboa, Collegiate Shag, & Blues Dance Mailing List of Swing Buffalo (for Buffalo and the surrounding area)...
The 2nd Annual SwingBuffalo.com Anniversary Bash was a terrific time! We had an awesome turn-out. Everyone loved the performance, the band was swingin', & the contest was a riot! Now, I know it's getting cold out there, but that makes it an even better time to get up & dance. I want to take this opportunity to announce that Lindy Fix is going to be CHANGING VENUES as of January 2010. We are moving along with Shakti Yoga to our new home at 133 Grant Street. This is a brand new venue, converted from a Bank to a Hall. I haven't seen it yet, but given my communications with Shakti, it sounds like it's going to have a very promising wood dance floor. And it's in the middle of the up & coming Grant Street community, 2 blocks from Sweetness 7. Come to Lindy Fix Monday night (at 220 Lexington Ave.) and I'll give you the scuttle butt on it. We're excited about the larger dance floor, small parking lot, & vibrant community location!

Beginner Jitterbug Lesson 8-8:30
This is the one and only lindy event in Buffalo and it's located just off Buffalo's famous Elmwood strip. 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.
Lesson taught by Rob & Sylbie.
