DJ Mel plus a Special Performance at the Firehouse Thursday!

 THIS THURS. OCT. 13TH, don't miss a very special performance at the Firehouse as our beginning swing class performs a Lindy routine to "Flat Foot Floogie" they learned in just 5 weeks! Most of them had never danced in their lives before, so it's quite an impressive feat. Come cheer on the future of Lindy Hop in SD!
Following the performance, we are also going to have our first-ever Firehouse Beginner's Welcome Jam (taken from SONH). It starts like any other jam, with all the beginning students in the middle of the circle, BUT instead of dancers leaving the circle to cut in, the dancers will wait on the edge of the circle until the moderator (most likely me) calls "Change Partners". At this point, the beginning dancers must choose a new partner from an enthusiastic circle of dancers who are gesturing wildly and yelling as loudly as possible "Pick Me! Pick Me!"
It's much easier to demonstrate then explain in words. Just be sure to...

We now have another opportunity to Lindy Bomb Henry's on a different night. Lady Dottie and the Diamonds is a down home blues band (not the bump and grind kind of blues) that is VERY danceable. A small group (so far) is going check it out tomorrow night. Come join us! The band plays from 10:30-1:30. See you tomorrow night!

Hey all, I'm astounded by the devastation caused by this earthquake. Does anyone know where money would be best sent to help in the relief efforts there?

Hi Dancers,
Thought I'd add a reminder about the fundraiser tonight at Tio's. This is the project lovingly created by Johnny G. D'Artenay and a host of other talented musicians.
Call the club for futher details....I think it's $10 to get in, and the first band is Big Rig Deluxe, followed by a bunch of other cool bands.
