Swingers' Ball
Info for this year's Swingers' Ball in Chicago has been posted. Last year's was one of the best dance events I've ever been to and I'm looking forward to going back this year. Chicago people: please come. Beloit/Madison people: let me know if you want to come. And just in case you're too lazy to click that link, here's the low-down:
Date: Saturday February 3, 2007
Where: The World Famous Willowbrook Ballroom
What? A Big Ass Swing Dancing Affair*
Who's Playing? Thomas Gunther is the musical director for three different bands on this evening in the main ballroom.
The Flat Cats have tentatively confirmed that they will play The Bunkeris downstairs.
What is the attire? Look like a Lady of the Ball and Be a Sophisticated Gent!
What else is going on? Dance Performances and The First Swinger's Ball Dance Showcase. A Jam Styled Lindy Hop Dance Contest. $800 to the winner. Whoever brings it the hardest wins! There will be only One Winner.
What's The Damage? $20.00 in advance. $25.00 at the door
Who can come? This is an all ages affair
*Primarily lindy but also east coast and west coast in the Bunker. No "Battle of the Coasts" this year to my knowledge.
