Subject: SwingBuffalo - Charleston Progressive Class Starts Tuesday
The Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, Charleston, Balboa, Collegiate Shag, & Blues Dance Mailing List of Swing Buffalo (for Buffalo and the surrounding area)...
Charleston taught tag-team style! This Tuesday begins our first progressive Charleston class, taught first at beginner level with Nate and Sylbie for the first 3 weeks, then Sam and Miller at Intermediate level for the last 3 weeks. $10/class drop-in or $42 for all 6 classes. Classes will be taught from 7-8 on Tuesdays before Lindy Fix. See the calendar on the SwingBuffalo.com website for specific dates. By the way, SwingBuffalo is back online. Due to a hacker bringing our host machine down, SwingBuffalo.com and RhythmShuffle.com were offline for about 3 weeks. That host is still down, but we have transitioned to a new host thanks to Nate! Also, we have rolled out the new RhythmShuffle.com website. Go check it out and click "Like" in the lower left corner of the home page to let your friends on facebook know about the event.

This is the 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!
