In the Mood – to Dance!

Don't forget that our Swing Dance event is coming up this Saturday evening.

When:	9:00pm (Lesson at 8:00pm)
Where:	Glen Echo Park
Cost:	$15 (includes the lesson)

Never danced before? Not a problem! Show up before 8:00 and a free introductory swing dance lesson is included in the price of admission! Tom Koerner and Debra Sternberg of GottaSwing will put on a lesson that will have you dancing in no time. (And even if you already know how to dance, the lesson they put on will definitely keep your attention.)

Need some reasons to try dancing? It's great exercise! It's an excellent opportunity to socialize (and not just other Jaycees – anyone who says Swing is for “old people” has never gone to a dance). Guys – dancing is one of the only times we're ever in charge! Gals – there's no pressure on you, when something goes wrong, it's the guy's fault! (That one's always true, but work with me here, OK?)

Bonus: If you stick around until 11, you'll get to see three or four (possibly more) couples demonstrate that gravity is completely optional.

If you'd like to take part in the lesson (included in the price of admission), you should plan on being there by 8pm. (Gottaswing frequently has sellouts, so you might want to shoot for 8:00 or 8:30 regardless.) What to wear? Dress comfortably (the Spanish Ballroom has no air conditioning). If you have leather‐soled shoes, bring them. (Ladies: give serious thought to leaving the heels at home.)

Drop me a line if you have questions, want to set up a carpool, or just want to "cheat" and learn the basic step in advance.
