Check out the April calendar for all of our class offerings!

No Class Tonight, 2/8; Change to Swing Class

Because of people having parties for the “Big Game” (even though it doesn’t start until 11, and I can totally understand partying early), combined with the extreme cold, no class tonight.

Combining that with the low attendance thus far, largely because of weather, we’ll have a Swing workshop next week, Sunday 2/15, $10 pp, 6-7 PM.

We’ll start Fox Trot on Sunday, March 1st.

Attached is the updated calendar for February.

Apologies for all the changes.  We’re hoping March brings more favorable weather.

February Calendar, Dances, and Classes!

So far, it looks like we will start Swing this Sunday, February 1, at St. Thomas Episcopal.  

Those of you who attend our Cecil College classes, those start on Monday, February 2, and Wednesday, February 4.  Monday should be good; check your email or the college’s website on Wednesday.

If the coming snowstorm is as bad as predicted, the dance for Friday will likely be cancelled.  If that happens, I’ll try to get it rescheduled for later in the month.

There is also a Valentine’s Gala Dance at the new Fred Astaire Dance Studio (FADS) – Fairfax on Saturday the 14th.  If you can’t scan the QR code on the attached calendar, go here: https://www.fredastaire.com/wilmington-fairfax/ .

Stay safe, stay warm!

Swing Classes to start on Sunday, February 1st!

(Yes, originally this class was advertised to start on Sunday, January 25th. The impending snowstorm is why we’re re-scheduling. Stay safe, stay warm!)

Social Dance for tonight CANCELLED

Out of an abundance of caution, we are cancelling our social dance for tonight.  Current weather reports indicate more precipitation, and then a drop in temperatures to where roads would have icy conditions, especially for everyone’s ride home.

Since we’re having a dance at Cecil on February 6, and the dance at FADS – Fairfax, we’re looking at having a social in Newark in March.

Apologies for any inconvenience.  😦
