UPDATE: our payment page is now posted properly!
There's a fair amount of dance stuff going on this month! Here's the scoop for February 2010.
Tuesday February 2nd is our second assisted practice. The one we held last week was well-attended and popular, so we're going to run them on the 9th and 16th as well. Come out to dance, practice, socialize, and ask teachers to help you with whatever you'd like. You CAN work on aerials here as well! 8pm - 9:30 at Victoria Arts Connection (2750 Quadra).
This Friday the 5th is the first Friday of the month, which means we're at Swing City. Big venue, nice floor, and a bar! It's been *three months* since the last time Red Hot Swing was in there, so come enjoy the longest-running swing venue in Victoria. 8pm - 12 at the Edelweiss Club (108 Niagara) with a free drop-in beginner lesson until 9pm; no partner or experience needed.
We have FOUR sessions of classes at VAC (2750 Quadra) starting up in the second half of February:
1) Our beginner series is Swing 1, which will run from 8pm - 9:30pm, Tuesdays Feb 23rd to Mar 30th. You need neither a partner nor experience to enjoy these lessons.
2) Our second-level class will be Balboa 1 from 8pm - 9:30pm on Wednesdays Feb 24th to Mar 31st. You don't need a partner, but some partner dance experience is required. If you've ever wanted to avoid bumping into other couples, or to learn to dance to fast music with ease, then balboa fits your bill.
3) Flippy stuff! We know how much fun it is to do the flippy stuff, so we're putting on a two-week Aerials class from 6pm - 7:25pm, Sundays Feb 21st to Feb 28th (partner IS required). Flippy stuff! Fun, fun, fun. :)
4) Our upper-level class will be Swing 4 from 7:35pm - 9:00pm, Sundays Feb 21st to Mar 28th. This is basically like a weekend workshop, except spread out over 6 weeks so you can retain all the cool pieces more easily! If you're planning on doing our Swing 5 in April... this is the prerequisite.
And of course, the Nothin' But Swing dance is still knocking people's socks off every Saturday night. 8:30pm - 12:30 at St. John's Hall (925 Balmoral). Drop-in beginner lesson until 9:15, and once again no partner or experience necessary!
Whew! Exciting month. :)

We're holding a directed practice from 8pm to 9:30 on Tuesday January 26th at Victoria Arts Connection (2750 Quadra).
But what's a directed practice, sav?
We'll play music for you to dance, and there will be two instructors on hand to help you with whatever you'd like to work on.
There is a $5 drop-in fee, and if it's a popular event we can do them again in the future.

Last night's dance was ridiculously fun! Thank you so much for coming out and celebrating with us. :)
We had a number of people asking about lessons, and they'll be starting up in January. I'll have exact dates and times up within the week. In the meantime, keep coming out to Nothin' But Swing every Saturday night!
See you on the dance floor,
