Subject: SwingBuffalo - Polish *Cadets* is the new Lindy Fix Venue!
The Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, Charleston, Balboa, Collegiate Shag, & Blues Dance Mailing List of Swing Buffalo (for Buffalo and the surrounding area)...
Heads Up! Lindy Fix, starting this Monday, is now at the beautiful Polish Cadets Hall just down the road on Grant Street! This is a larger venue located right next to Buff State and they have a terrific floor on the second story. From what I hear, this was a regular lindy hop venue during the swing resurgence in the mid-late 90's. We will be making this our new home and base of operations. Note, this is different from the Polish Falcon's Hall where other dances take place. It's convenient location and ample parking will make getting there much easier for those of you coming from the suburbs. Let's show our thanks and appreciation to the Polish Cadets for adopting us and letting us use such a beautiful venue by showing up to celebrate our first dance there this Monday! Check out the details at http://swingbuffalo.com/lindyfix.html

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.
Lesson taught by Rob & Sylbie.

Lafayette Taproom & LeeRon Zydeco Announce Zydeco/Cajun Dance Partees!
Monthly Tuesday evening events bring Louisiana dance hall fun to Western New York
The Lafayette Taproom and popular area musician, LeeRon Zydeco, are teaming up to bring a series of Tuesday Zydeco/Cajun Dance Partees to Western New York. These events will include an hour of dance lessons by Esther Brill, master dance instructor at the Rochester Cajun Zydeco Network. Then LeeRon Zydeco & the Hot Tamales will take the stage to play traditional two-steps, waltzes and shuffles to add an authentic Louisiana dance hall atmosphere to the party.
The first event in the series will take place on Tuesday, January 12, from 7:30-11pm. Admission will be $5 and includes dance instruction, live band and FREE GUMBO courtesy of the Taproom. There will also be New Orleans beer specials and other surprises. The next party dates are Tuesday, February 2 and Tuesday, March 2.
People have been asking about getting a Zydeco Cajun dance scene going in the Buffalo area, says Marc Alfieri, owner of the Lafayette Taproom. Cajun dances enjoy great support in the Rochester area and we are excited about having Esther Brill as our instructor to get our own scene going here. LeeRon Zydeco adds, Even if you have never danced to a Cajun tune before, this is a great opportunity to learn the basics in a relaxed atmosphere. We encourage everyone to come out and experience the fun and enjoyment this music brings and escape the winter blues. Theres nothing like the combination of a hot Zydeco band and a dance floor full of folks having a ball
LeeRon Zydeco & the Hot Tamales will also be appearing at the Lafayette Taproom on Friday January 22 and on Fat Tuesday, February 16 from 6-9pm.
