WEEKEND WORKSHOP UPDATE!

We just need a few more to register for the Balboa workshop to make our student minimum and have these two amazing instructors teach here in Huntsville. If you want to learn to dance to the fastest songs and support the Huntsville Swing Dance Society then come out and have a great time at 'I Bal Therefore I Am...' (Cut off for our minimum is this Thursday and without a few more we will have to cancel.)

It is with great sadness that I bring you news of the passing of Adam Chesler's father, Bradley Chesler. Adam Chesler is an avid swing dancer in and around Huntsville Alabama. Many of you have danced with him many times. On behalf of the Huntsville Swing Dance Society I would like to extend to Adam and his family our greatest sympathies.

Just wanted to give everyone an update that you can now sign up for the "I Bal, Therefore I Am ..." balboa swing workshop with Corey and Susan Manke. Read about the workshop on the Calendar (http://www.huntsvilleswingdance.org/i_bal) and sign up at our store (http://www.huntsvilleswingdance.org/node/397).

For those wondering about the classes, they are:
Class 1 – The Good Stuff: Getting comfortable with the feel and basic steps of the balboa
Class 2 – The Better Stuff: Adding some pure balboa moves to your basic

Thanks to everyone who came to swing out to the Dean Martinis with us! We had great turn out and a great time! There were about 20 people at the beginner lesson alone!

Thanks to Tabitha and Gabriel for teaching as always and thank you to Rob and Kristen for the intermission DJ'ing. It was great to see all the new faces at the dance as well as all of the great lindy hoppers.
