Yes, it's that time of year again ... time to elect Board of Directors for 2009-2010!  Make your voice heard by attending the March dance to cast your vote.  CSDS is an all-volunteer run club governed by 5-7 Board of Directors whose responsibility it is to conduct club business in a professional manner according to our Bylaws.  Once elected, the Directors choose Officers and divide up the responsibilities and tasks of running the Club.

Highlights from the Jason Barnes Workshops + Illumination Dance
 
Guest instructor, national pro/competitor Jason Barnes and his wife, Amy, wowed Charlottesville on their first visit to our dance community.  They taught 4 well-attended workshops in Hustle and West Coast Swing!  We hope Jason and Amy will grace us with their presence again soon.  Special thanks to all who pitched in to make this weekend a memorable one.

CSDS's FREE Weekly Dance Practice
 
CSDS hosts a FREE weekly dance practice called Swing Swap*!!  If you are like most, you need to practice what you learn in dance class in order to retain it so come on out and practice your new moves while they are fresh in your mind so they can become a permanent part of your dance repertoire!  Swing Swap is held on Thursdays* from 7:30 - 9 pm at the Murray High School Gym.  It's "Open House" style so arrive at any time.  DJ Lisa Morales plays a variety of music ~ East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, Hustle, Nightclub 2-Step, Country 2-Step, Cha Cha, Waltz, etc.  Swing Swap is a relaxed and friendly atmosphere for practice.  All are welcome, with or without partners, any level of experience!
 
* In case of inclement weather, Swing Swap is cancelled if Albemarle County Public Schools close.  Check for cancellations and/or subscribe here.
