We're starting the dance early this week, 8pm!  Great if you 
have an early bedtime or long travel to get home.  We'll do 
an early dance every once in a while.

Watch http://emergency.mit.net/ for the latest info 
regarding potential MIT closure due to snow.  If MIT is 
open, the dance will happen; if MIT closes, the dance will 
be cancelled.

* MIT Lindy Hop Society Wednesday Swing Dance
* Wednesday, March 21, Lesson 7:30 Dancing 8-11:30 p.m.
* Walker Memorial 1st floor
  http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=50
* Free, Beginners welcome, No partner necessary
* DJ Jodi Daynard

At 7:30 before the dance, Luna will teach a 30-minute lesson 
on the Shim Sham, a popular solo jazz routine done to songs 
like "Tuxedo Junction" and "'Tain't What You Do (It's The 
Way That You Do It)".

Jodi will DJ from 8-11, and then we'll open it up to the 
floor for anyone to DJ from 11-11:30.  Bring some music you 
want to dance to if you want to dance to the end of the 
evening.

Next week 3/28 we will resume normal scheduling, with Samra 
teaching a 7:30 lesson followed by social dancing at 9.

If anyone is available to help me set up the dance, meet me 
at W20-437 (our storage room) at 6:45 pm.

Locations and DJs for the next few weeks:
3/21 Walker, DJ Jodi Daynard
3/28 Sala, DJ Ted Simpson
4/4 Sala

Would anyone like to teach a lesson?  Share you love of 
dance!

Help wanted!  If you are an MIT student and available to 
occasionally help out with the club, let me know.  (We would 
like to avoid the club having a single point of failure, 
namely me.)  No commitment required!
