Subject: SwingBuffalo - Lindy Fix now at 133 Grant Street
The Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, Charleston, Balboa, Collegiate Shag, & Blues Dance Mailing List of Swing Buffalo (for Buffalo and the surrounding area)...
The email list got corrupted recently and I've just rebuilt it. I could have made some mistakes. If you are receiving this email but shouldn't be, let me know and I will correct the mistake. This Monday, Lindy Fix will be at our brand new venue: 133 Grant Street in Buffalo, not far from our old location. I went and visited the new site and they're still working on it. It's rough around the edges, but the floor is in and it is sprung (and heated)! We're very excited about this new location, so come out for our christening dance this Monday!

Beginner Jitterbug Lesson 8-8:30
This is the 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.
