Tampa Bay's Swing Dance News for April 13th 2010

Join us this Wednesday, April 14th at the Gulfport Casino Swing Night for CHARLESTON BONUS LESSONS 6-7pm. This Wednesday, learn to dance dozens of exciting Swing-Charleston variations & styles from the facing-your-partner position, including the Crazy Legs! Wednesday's class will include all-new moves that you won't see anywhere else, not even in our lindy hop courses. If you were here last Wednesday, all the new material can be danced in the 20's style as well as the swing style, so you'll expand your repertoire dramatically.
