Swing On In Newsletter – Lindy Exchanges, Vintage Vinyl Nights, Dance Troupe and new born babies! It’s all here

Hello there and happy days to our fabulous Swing On In dance community! We have some exciting events lined up for you, so let’s dive right in:

**1. Recap of Sydney Weekend:**

I’ve just returned from an incredibly successful and epic weekend in Sydney at the fantastic new dance venue, The Wriggle Room. Trudi, Mr. Deano, and Squish are the amazing folks behind this venue, and their passion and knowledge of Lindy Hop are truly inspiring. I had the pleasure of conducting a Lindy Charm School Vintage Styling Hair and Makeup Workshop for a bunch of lovely ladies, followed by teaching “The Mama Stew” to some of their experienced dancers. It was challenging, but oh so rewarding! And as a quirky highlight, I ended up sharing a shuttle with four Greek Orthodox high priests on my way to the airport—a sign of a truly blessed weekend. Huge thanks to my hosts and dear friends Tim, Sammy, and Sue for their unwavering support!

**2. Vintage Vinyl Soirée:** – This Saturday night!

We are thrilled to announce our first-ever Vintage Vinyl Soirée, an intimate dance night.

**3. Congratulations and Welcomes:**

At 6am this morning Ray and I received the news our 8th grandbaby was born and she’s a beauty, little Miss Lemmie Violet!.  I will leave the deets to the parents to share but I think its safe to say that our kids are breeders!  8 amongst 3 of them!  Family dinners just got a little more crowded (in a good way!)

ALSO..  ..  A massive congratulations to Arrienne and Scott from Swing Patrol Brisbane on the arrival of their firstborn child, Denzel! We can’t wait to meet the newest addition to our dance community and watch him follow in his parents’ dancing footsteps.

**4. Upcoming Events:**

We have a jam-packed schedule ahead! Keep an eye out for details on an exciting event happening in May in Sydney, featuring international dance instructors and plenty of after-parties.

  2. Swing A Billy Ray is the CRO resident DJ and you can find him behind the famous bowser at the Harvest Moon Swing Dance and also the Beachside Rock n Roll Dance
  3. Both Ray and I host the Harvest Moon Swing Dance and I’m so thrilled that we have secured Melissa Western and her Moxy Crew.  A pure delight and I promise you will love them!  Get your tickets today (if there are any left that is!)   Also, I’m excited to let you all know that our awesome troupe (The Halfbreaks) will be performing again to a brand new routine by our super star choreographers Glenn & Rachael!

**5. Couch Surfing for visiting Lindy Hoppers**

For those planning to attend upcoming events from out of town, we know finding accommodation can be tricky. If you have a couch or spare room to offer, please let us know! There’s always a Lindy hopper in need of a place to crash AND you make life long Lindy Hopper Friends from around the globe!

That’s all for now, folks! I look forward to seeing you on the dance floor at class this week, and don’t forget to join us for our first all-vintage vinyl swingin soirée this Saturday night!
