Swingin' New England was awesome.  As a group, we did the best that we ever have. Placements in Newcomer, Novice, Intermediate and Allstar!



There were about 100 people for the day of Dance (NC2, Hustle, Lindy Hop & West Coast Swing) in Thomaston, CT.  Eran Troy Danner & the Band rocked.  Our very own Ron MacCarthy did a great job hosting the event.



We had about 30 people in the beginner West Coast Swing class on Nov 5.  It's the best West Coast Swing night in southern, CT because of all the cool people and the friends they bring.  You can still join us on Week 2.



Some of our hardcore Hustle dancers (there were 30 dancers in total) wore a Hat in honor and memoriam of Arte Phillips on Tues, Nov 3.  We'll be doing a Hustle dance tribute to him all month: showing his style of movement, his videos, and stories.  The "Arte-Journey" continues next week.



Our West Coast Swing crew went all out for Halloween.  We even had three sightings of Michael Jackson on Thurs, Oct 29.  



Some of our Hustle crew showed up in full costume (even 5 days before Halloween).  What great spirit & fun.  We even had good dancing on Tues, Oct 27.



Karen & Josh show you how attractive West Coast Swing can be at the Platinum Party NYC on Fri, Oct 16.
