Swing dancing, Outside Student Center, lesson 7:30

[Ken T Takusagawa]

* MIT Lindy Hop Society Wednesday Swing Dance
* Wednesday, June 20, Lesson 7:30 Dancing 9-11:30 p.m.
* Outside, in front of Student Center
  http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=W20
* Free, Beginners welcome, No partner necessary
* DJs Tim Manning and Eric Reesman

At 7:30, Nigel will teach a swing lesson.

The dance is outside this week, on concrete.  Don't wear 
your nice shoes!  The weather forecast is 70 F, but 
unfortunately a 30% chance of rain later in the evening.  We 
currently don't have a contigency plan for rain, so we might 
have to improvise something if rain happens.

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

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

Locations, DJs, and instructors for the next few weeks:
6/20 Outside W20, DJs Tim Manning and Eric Reesman

Starting July 11, the 7:30 lessons will be a 4-week blues 
dance series, leading up the Boston's Sweet Molasses Blues 
workshop weekend August 10-12:

The 9pm dances will play a mix of music, more blues toward 
the beginning immediately following the lesson, and more 
swing later.

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!
