Start your Solomon weekend in Nashville at NSDF! Solomon Douglas is a jazz pianist and bandleader, whose various bands have played at more than fifty exchanges, camps, workshops, and other events in North America, Asia, and Australia in the past ten years. His experience as a swing dancer and dance instructor gives him an understanding unique among musicians of the music that swing dancers and blues dancers like to dance to! Check out more at http://www.huntsvilleswingdance.org/node/477. Even better yet, check out all the NSDF dances at http://www.nsdf.info/NSDF/Welcome.html.

Next up in your Solomon weekend is the HSDS workshop and dance! Solomon eats, sleeps, breaths, and lives swing like no-one else. He's an accomplished artist, dancer, and musician and he's going to follow up his Nashville performance with a Huntsville workshop! This workshop will be about musicality and what better way than to learn from someone who truly understands the music. This may be your last chance this year to get national level lessons in Huntsville so take it! And we're wrapping up Solomon weekend with a final concert at the best venue in the region, the Flying Monkey! The air's going to be electric with Solomon's very first performance at the Monkey. Nothing could be better! If you are coming into town and need housing, let Danielle Beardsley know.
