The Old City Buskers is a band of swing dancers and they truely proved it. It's probably the first time we've had a live band play our Tranky-Doo and definitely the first time we've had a live band play Communication by Slim and Slam. The skill of these guys is growing by leaps and bounds! They are quickly stepping up the ladder of HSDS bands.
And it wouldn't be a dance without dancers, and there were a TON of them! The dance floor stayed full the entire dance. EVERYONE found something they could enjoy dancing to =). In fact, our dances are starting to get so big we're actually looking at ways to expand the dancible area. Having so many dancers you have to make room for all of them: I must admit, it's a good problem to have!
Thanks everybody for a wildly successful weekend! We had a great turn out for the workshop and all of the dances!
Thank you to everyone that came out to the carousel at Bridge Street to dance Friday night! The weather looked pretty worrisome, however it broke at the last minute and we had a cool, clear night to dance. There were a ton of people that came out and danced under the lights. Thanks to Paul and Huy for DJ'ing!

Swing Dancers, too long have we ignored the plight of those who cannot swing. Now is our chance to do something about it! I give you, ZERO TO SWING! We will bring swing to those who do not have it! Help us find the yearning, the willing! We will show them the joy that is swing dance!

We all know the dance and the music are inseparable and the same goes for dancers and musicians. If you've been to any out-of-town dance you've seen some of the dancers jammin on the side. Old City Buskers was born from these dancers and they remain committed to their dance roots!
