Charleston 6 weeks series and more...
Last Saturday evening, a bunch of us supported the Idaho Falls Symphony Jazz Band at Freeman Park. This band played some great swing tunes for us to dance to. KIDK Channel 3 news was there and we were on the news dancing away in the park.
We're starting our next 6 week class series on the Charleston on Friday, October 9th. The details are listed on the right side of the blog. If you have any questions feel free let me know.
Rick and I will also be teaching a day workshop in October at Idaho State University in Pocatello. The details for that event will follow soon!
Live Music :-) The Mike Banks Quartet is playing this Saturday evening, September 19th, at the Cellar. The band usually starts to play at 7:15.

No Dance Friday, September 4th --Labor Day Weekend
We've had a really good crowd the last few weeks. Our dance is on for this Friday, Aug 28th as normally scheduled, but there will be no dance next Friday during the Labor Day Weekend. Rick and I are off to Swing Out New Hampshire. It's a great event and we're happy to be attending again this year. The atmosphere at this event is amazing and it's a workshop weekend I look forward to every year. If you are curious about it this is the web site for SONH.

We hope to see everyone when we return on Friday, September 11th.
