Midsummer
Night Swing - Next Wednesday:
20
years ago, I started swing dancing...and it all started at
Midsummer Night Swing at Lincoln Center in NYC. 4 Years
ago I taught an East Coast Swing lesson as an opener for Big Bad
Voodoo Daddy. This year, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy personally
requested that I teach the lesson again. Last
time, this event had over 500 people on the dance floor
(yes, 500!) Get your tickets online:
