November is going to be the biggest month HSDS has ever seen! We have a HUGE workshop with Michael Gamble and Jaya Dorf, two master instructors from Ashville, NC: home of the fabled Lindy Focus! It will be the best swing workshop Huntsville has ever seen; specifically designed to be challenging the intermediate/advanced dancers while still being graspable by beginners. There will be something for everyone! At $60 for 8 lessons, a main dance, and two latenights you couldn't ask for a better deal! We've also talked Michael (the gold standard in swing DJ'ing to provide tunes for us at the Saturday latenight as well as enlisting the wonderful Breanna Perry and our old friend Huy Huynh to DJ as well!
