Subject: SwingBuffalo - Rhythm Shuffle needs your help!
The Lindy Hop, Jitterbug, Charleston, Balboa, Collegiate Shag, & Blues Dance Mailing List of Swing Buffalo (for Buffalo and the surrounding area)...
Rhythm Shuffle is just 2 weeks away and we're starting to get new registrants every day. So far we have 16 who have requested housing, so we need housing hosts! Hosting out of town dancers is a wonderful experience. It's fun having guests, especially if you're attending the workshop yourself. We also very much need volunteers to man the tables. For every hour you sit, you get $10 back from your registration fee! This is a great way to attend the weekend's activities at a discount. Here is the contact info for housing and volunteering:
Volunteering, please email Serenity at "rhythmshuffle+volunteering@gmail.com"
Housing, please email Sam at "rhythmshuffle+housing@gmail.com"
For details on the volunteering discount, please refer to the "Discounts, Policies, and Fees" section at the bottom of the registration page: http://RhythmShuffle.com/register.html Note, preference will be given to those who cannot otherwise afford the workshop.

Beginner Jitterbug Lesson 8-8:30
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 countries. Swing dances featuring lindy are a very social event. Everyone dances with everyone, though it's not typically 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 Sam and Sylbie.
