Alright, guys - Registration opens July 8th at 9pm EST. As always, the first few batches of registrants save good money. Last year we sold over 50 slots in under 3 minutes, and we expect this year to be just as competitive! To help with this, we strongly recommend creating an account ahead of time (last year's account will still work, or you could also use your Southern Belle account if you registered for that event.)

IMPROVED REGISTRATION SYSTEM

This Follow-Intensive weekend is designed to help beginner to intermediate level follows take their dancing to the next level. This workshop will focus on building a strong movement vocabulary for both solo and partner dancing, commitment to movement, and defeating the Wicked Witch and her evil Flying Monkeys that try to keep follows from reaching their full potential! Teachers for the weekend are Alysha Cantrell, Lettie Andrade De La Torre, Jenna Knox and special guest Lindsay Longstreth. A dance will follow the workshop on Sunday evening with Knoxville's favorite DJ/Follow Kelly Gassert!

Every Wednesday night, Dana Dafner, one of our favorite Huntsville swing dancers, is teaching beginning swing lessons. Dana is a home grown beauty who is taking people who have never danced before and teaching them the basics of swing that they need to get out on the social dance floor.

Dana is an excellent dancer, one of the best follows in Huntsville. She's assisted by Michael Barnes, a fun, exciting lead. Together they will make the lesson not just helpful but FUN!

Welcome to the Charleston Swing Dance Association's (CSDA's) fourth annual Charleston Lindy Exchange, CHEX4, being held from May 13-16, 2010 in Charleston, South Carolina. We're very excited to be hosting y'all again this year, and look forward to welcoming our lindy hop, balboa, and blues dancer friends and family back to Charleston in the year 2010!

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.
