What a Huge dance! We knew RCJO could bring people out and man did they ever! Over 100 people and so many for the beginner lesson we filled the floor! Thank you to Tabitha and Gabriel who gave an incredible lesson and to Paul Fryer who did an excellent job of DJ'ing the intermissions.

A brief (and incomplete) HSDS History

Posted in

Chapter 1
The Huntsville Swing Dance Society started swinging in 1995 when Paul Wieland and a few friends began meeting at Gorin’s Ice Cream and Sandwich Shop on the corner of Washington and Clinton Streets in Huntsville. Free dances to recorded music, of classic and neo-swing bands, were held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month.

So long and thanks for the memories

Thank you to everyone who came to Tabitha and I's lessons at the UAH Fitness Center over the years. It's been amazing watching the dancers who have taken lessons starting with Erica Roberts and Huy, moving on to Tabitha and Huy, then Tabitha and myself. We both have enjoyed watching the dancers we taught grow in the dance community become better dancers, branch out to dance with other scenes, and for some, go on to be proficient teachers.

Beg/Int Class Song

So some people asked about the song we were choreographing to during the intermediate class so they could think about it before next week. The song was "Thanks for the Boogie Ride" by "Anita O'Day and Gene Krupa".

Following the beginner, lesson, Tabitha will be teaching an intermediate lesson. Intermediate lessons are for anyone from those who have just learned basic swing to those who regularly dance out of town. This is your chance to learn new things, hoan your skills, and practice what you know.

In January we will be focusing on Charleston transitions. While we all know at least one way to get in and out of charleston or from one charleston style to another, this class is aimed at diversifying how you go between styles and making you comfortable using all of them.

Event Date and Time: 
Repeats every week until Tue Jun 01 2010 .
Location: 
UAH Fitness Center (corner of North Loop Road and Holmes
Cost: 
$10, (free to UAH Fitness Center Members/UAH Students)

Tabitha will be teaching beginner charleston at the UFC during Sept. We've had a lot of interest and I want to clarify, it will start Sept 8th, not Sept 1st or 9th. But Gabriel you say, Sept 1st is the first Tuesday of the month. I know, I know, but we promise we'll make it up to you in fun, exciting and challenging lessons.
