Swing dancing, Sala, musicality lesson (bring music!)

[Ken T Takusagawa]

* MIT Lindy Hop Society Wednesday Swing Dance
* Wednesday, August 8, Lesson 7:30 Dancing 9-11:30 p.m.
* La Sala de Puerto Rico, Student Center 2nd floor
  http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=W20
* Free, Beginners welcome, No partner necessary
* DJs Tina Desorcy and Dustin Spicuzza

At 7:30 before the dance, 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.  It does NOT need to be a swing song.

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:
8/8 Sala, DJs Tina Desorcy and Dustin Spicuzza
  Lesson by Ken
8/15 Location TBA, DJ Jodi Daynard
  Lesson by Nigel
8/22 36-112
  Anyone want to teach a lesson in a small room?
8/29 36-112
  Lesson by David
9/5 Walker
  Lesson by David
9/12 Lobdell
  Lesson by Tufts Country Swing dance

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!
