Solomon Douglas Swing Quartet @ the Birmingham VFW

Now here's a special one! Solomon Douglas is coming through Birmingham! As everyone knows, Solomon's a tough guy to get w/o a $100 ticket to an exchange or workshop. The opportunity to see him at a place like the VFW in Birmingham is a once a year thing! Solomon is a dancer, composer, and musician. He knows his stuff in ways most of us have yet to understand. He. Will. Do. You. Right!

Also, if you're new to dance, this is a fun place to get started. You can hit up the beginner lesson at 7 with the dancing starting at 7:30.

What a Dance! We PACKED the monkey! We had people that had danced for years and people who were just starting! We had High School students and college students. We had young professionals and retirees. We had the Huntsville crowd as well as people from Nashville, Birmingham, Memphis, Knoxville, Atlanta, and Auburn! The only problem the whole night was finding space on the dance floor!
