This was the first time Microwave Dave and the Nukes have played an HSDS event and there is absolutely no way it will be the last! The dance was the absolutely perfect mix of dancers, costumes, blues, Microwave Dave, energy, and Flying Monkey.
We had a TON of people out including a huge number for the lesson. Huy and Briana gave an excellent blues lesson covering almost every genre of blues dance, all in an hour!
This weekend was an incredible warmup for Blues Masquerade next weekend! Everyone had such an incredible time!
The weekend started out with Rocket City Jazz Orchestra and the Four Star Orchestra battling it out at Bridge Street. A bunch of dancers came out and we couldn't have asked for better music or a more beautiful night! There is nothing quite like dancing to a big band under the stars!
Man, what a great dance! I don't think we've ever had such a great mix of dancers. We had old and young, beginners and experienced, Huntsvillians and out-of-towners! It was one of our largest dancers ever if not the largest!
Wow, it was a crazy day getting ready for the dance, but man was it good! Tuxedo Junction came through in flying colors! Their singer was awesome and everyone had an incredible time! We had all of our friends from the area over and it went great! Thanks to everyone who came. I can't imagine a better time!
Thank you to everyone who came out for all of the wonderful Solomon dancing! Solomon taught an awesome workshop! With a Charleston, a blues and a (reverse) lindy lesson there was definitely something for everyone, both beginner and experienced.
Man, what an awesome dance! Normally DJ dances are a nice mellow affair. A lull between the bands. This was anything but! Rob, Breanna and Danielle all put off rock solid sets and gabe ended was one hell of a blues playlist!
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.
And we have crowned our DJ queen! Danielle Beardsley faced off head to head with seven other DJs, 3 head-to-head, and came out on top! This even with losing her computer the morning before the dance and having to DJ off of a loaner.
Thanks to everyone who came out for the dance and also for the workshop. We had an awesome array of people from out of town, (Knoxville, Nashville, Atlanta, Tucson, and more). The dance was great. Miss Tess and the Bonton Parade brought some great sets and had then entire crowd moving. There was fast stuff for the single step, east coast, and balboa dancers, middle stuff for the lindy dancers and slow stuff for the blues dancers.

You know, we normally expect the DJ dances to be a bit more low key. More so for a summer dance. More so for a dance not on our normal day
