Mailing List of Swing Buffalo (for Buffalo and the surrounding
area)...
Just
got back a few hours ago from Lindy Focus in Asheville, NC where I
attended
(among others) a "Scene Building" class. I got tons of tips
on
how to develop a lindy hop scene in Buffalo. (Plus, I had a
terrific
time dancing, taking classes, and performing.) One of the
tips
was to get groups of people to travel together to nearby workshops
to
get them excited about lindy. I
think that's a great idea. If you
guys
could just see what it's like in other cities, you'd catch the bug
and
be addicted like me! So I'll be
perusing lindyexchange.com trying
to
pick out something, but if you know of any lindy or even bal events
you'd
like to go to, shoot me an email!
