Swing Swap Returns to Murray High School This Month

Swing Swap  returns to Murray High School in September.  The exact date has yet to be determined, so make sure to check the CSDS website before you head out.  

Thank you to Al and Alyssa Lundgren of The Dance Oasis for hosting Swing Swap during the summer!  Please be sure to check out their schedule for classes and dances!

 

Thanks, also, to Albemarle County Parks & Rec for their continuing partnership with CSDS.  For many years now, they've allowed us to hold Swing Swap at County venues (free!) during the school year and helped to promote our club and Swing Swap.  CSDS Member and former Board of Director, Kristin Wenger, is the County's Swing Dance Instructor Extraordinaire - Kristin's classes start up in a few weeks so join the hundreds of people who've been through her classes and sign up here!

In case you haven't heard by now, CSDS dances will be held at a new venue for the next six months, starting with our September dance!  Our new home is the beautiful terrace level Fellowship Room of Unity Church, located at 2825 Hydraulic Circle, off of Hydraulic Road, just past the intersection where Albemarle High School is located as you are heading towards Earlysville.  CSDS Prez Larry Saunders took some photos of the approach from both directions and we'll also put out a "sandwich board" with BALLOONS at the entrance to help you find it!

Competition Update ...

Charlottesville/Central Virginia area dancers had a blast at Barry Durand's Swing Fling last month.  Some of us competed for the first time and all of us enjoyed the performances, workshops and social dancing the weekend had to offer.  Competition results are here.  Check out some of C'ville's finest getting their groove on:
