Subject: URGENT: dancers needed this saturday!

good morning everyone,

while at sam's burger joint last night, Mikey and myself had a pair of ladies come up to us trying to see if anyone from our society would be willing to dance at a local fashion show. they were very apologetic that it's such short notice, but are looking to have 2-3 couples/pairs dancing. we already have one couple in place. can we get any others? below is the info, PLEASE let me know by around 7pm tonight (tuesday aug 24th)~ this way i can tell them how many/what to expect. thanks!

what: a fashion show, dedicated to the 40's and 50's

when: saturday, doors open at 6pm, the "show" starts at 7pm (dancing around 7ish?)

where: esplanade gardens located at 10790 toepperwein rd, sa tx, 78109 (off of IH 35)

to expect: they have a VERY small dance floor/like a raised catwalk, in which the dancers will perform. they would prefer us to bring some music, if not, they can provide it. they would like a definite yes or no by tonight~ this way they can try to find some other entertainment for the show...

also, even though no money will be involved (bring a water bottle to be safe) there WILL be great PR involved for the society~ they said the news will be there. (not sure if it will be televised OR newspaper) they also said that we can bring flyers and talk up the society as well.

so, please respond back if interested, i've already got one pair willing to dance, are there any others? dancing would last no more than 30 minutes as what she was describing. thanks!

short, sweet, and simple folks. i imagine that ONE of these days this upcoming week, you'll be able to get your swing dancing fix!

monday: don't forget that sam's burger joint will host 2 sasds instructors from 7-8pm, and then the live band "the barnburners" performs from 8:30-10:30pm. (keep in mind, it's a $7 cover, lessons are free, and this hopping dance floor is located at 281 south and grayson st.)

wednesday: lessons at amora ballroom are from 7-9pm, $10 for one class, $15 for 2 classes, both beginners and intermediate lessons. social is only $3-4 (if no class is taken, class prices include social) and is from 9-11pm. also, to keep up with the "back-to-school" special, renewing and new sasds memberships are only $15!

thursday: if you haven't gotten your fill of swing dancing thus far, why not finish up the week strong and with some good old-fashioned fun w/ the Jim Cullen Band at "The Landing". the band plays at 8:30pm and goes til 11, dancers are free but carry some cash for parking/drinks/etc. The Landing is located at the Hyatt, down on the riverwalk...

okay, so, maybe it wasn't so "short and simple" as i thought it would be, but hope that with the wide range of events that are going on this week, everyone will get a chance to show off their dance skills! cheers!

nathan_malone

For the third year in a row, the Syndicate is having a 80s side room! Join me and Rev. Shady Glenn Unlike the previous two years, this one will not be held during the Halloween dance, instead it will be held on the September 5th Thursday.

What to expect, songs from the 1980s (or maybe 80s inspired cover songs) that you can swing dance to. Generally speaking a lot of the songs will be West Coast friendly, but we will also mix in Blues, lindy friendly songs, along with club tracks if the dancers react to it.

Good morning everyone!

We have a busy week ahead of us, but it's going to be a blast!

Monday: at sam's burger joint we have our beginner lesson 7-8pm, and then the "Texas Piano Man" plays from 8:30-10:30pm. know that it's a $7 cover which allows you the lesson plus the awesome music! (sam's is located at 281 south and Grayson st)

Wednesday: back to the lessons, and we're going to change it up some! we have your lindy 1 & 2 class, a musicality class, and of course beginners. classes from 7-9pm, social from 9-11pm prices are still the same at $10 for one class and social, $15 for 2 classes and social, or just the social which is $3-4. hope to see everyone at amora ballroom! (amora is located at loop 410 and Perrin Beitel.)

and the MAIN EVENT everyone has been waiting for! Alamo Stomp starts on friday and goes through sunday! if you haven't already registered, don't be left out! we have different price schedules for the classes, the dances, one day packages vs the entire weekend~ we have something for everyone!

hope to see everyone out on the dance floor!

To: matt@...

Folks,

Sorry, especially since i know I sent the reminder notice about the workshop out only yesterday.

But I have come down with a terrible allergies/cold/sinus infection (hopefully not the flu) this evening.

Laura and i decided it would be best to cancel for Saturday, since there is no guaranty I will be back on my feet by then.

So, the Saturday, October 16th Intermediate Balboa Workshop w/Laura and Matt at Galaxy Dance Studio is cancelled.

We are still scheduled for November 20th and December 18th.

Thanks.

And, again, I apologize if I caused any of you any inconvenience.
