At 7:30, Faye and Clayton will teach the last week of 
beginner blues dance lesson series.

This past month's lesson series has been blues dance, 
leading up to Boston's Sweet Molasses Blues workshop weekend 
August 10-12 (whose workshop classes will take place at 
MIT):

Next week, August 8, Ken will teach a musicality lesson 
based on songs YOU bring to the lesson.  So bring a song 
that inspires you on a portable music player (phone, iPod 
etc.) or send me a link to it, and we'll explore dancing to 
it!

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

Locations for the next few weeks:
8/1 Lobdell, DJs Stephen York and Don Coverdale
8/8 Sala, DJs Tina Desorcy and Dustin Spicuzza
8/15 Location TBA, DJ Jodi Daynard
8/22 36-112
8/29 36-112
9/5 Walker
9/12 Lobdell

Unfortunately, all of our dances for the foreseeable future 
will be indoors (no more outdoor dances in front of the 
Student Center) due to a (previously unenforced) MIT rule 
forbidding outdoor events in the evening which make sound.  
Anyone want to help me navigate MIT administration?

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