Swing Dancing @ Skeeter's Grill! Thursday, April 30th

Our East Coast spies have reported a new Swing venue in the making! Complementing the popularity of the Prince's Hamburgers dance, now Skeeter's Grill has caught the jitter-bug! (not to be confused with the Swine Flu bug.)

Come out this week, Thursday April 30th, for the inaugural shin-dig (and to convince management to love dancers!) and enjoy some good food, company, smooth concrete floors, and a great selection of jukebox tunes to dance to!

What and Where: 7:00pm to 9:00pm at Skeeter's Mesquite Grill, Wesleyan @ Bissonnet (map). Dancing (primarily 6-count/East Coast Swing) to jukebox tunes. (Questions? Chat it up on the Forum!)

UHD's Swing Fling is coming, April 25th, 2009, right here in Houston!

You are cordially invited to the UHD Swing Fling on Saturday, April 25, 2009.

The Swing Fling is a full day of workshops in Beginning Blues, East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, and Musicality, followed by an evening of dancing and a silent auction and raffle. All skill levels are welcome, and beginners/newbies are especially encouraged to take that first step onto the dance floor!

For those of you with more experience - please come show the new dancers what a good time looks like!

All proceeds from the event will benefit the UHD Summer in London and Paris Study Abroad Program - specifically students depending on financial aid in order to participate.

Rice Jazz Soiree -- Friday April 10th, 2009

The Rice Social Dance Society is gearing up for their annual swing dance, the Jazz Soiree. This is an (optionally) classy affair, so feel free to ritz it up, or come as casual as you wish. They'll provide the snacks and water, the Rice Jazz Band will provide some live grooves, and you provide the steps!

There will be an intro lesson at 7:45pm to warm you up before the night gets into full "swing" (at 9pm, until 12), so be sure to bring your friends. And the best part? It's completely free!

Directions and parking info can be found on RSDS's Jazz Soiree page, on Facebook, or on the HSO Forum discussion. Campus construction is making traffic a bit tricky, so "know before you go"!
