Hello Swing and Blues dancers, Newsflash! Ben and Helen will be teaching and performing as part of the Glasgow Winterfest, THIS SUNDAY 22nd, on the Main Stage. We expect to be on from 3 to 4pm and we'd love your support. Come and enjoy the day or help us to hand out flyers. If you have any friends or family members who've not yet tried Lindy Hop, this is a great way to introduce them to dance in a large social environment. Send us a message with your mobile if you can make it - we'll let you know of any changes to the schedule, or alternativly check www.zootswing.co.uk - we'll post the details soon. The Sunday Stroll's afternoon saw 40 people come and learn some new jazz steps, some of them dancing for the very first time! It was lovely to see students coming across from our new Glasgow classes and we even had a participant come all the way from Newcastle. Thanks to all the Zoot Swing teachers who did a fantastic job, we'll be playing all of the stroll's music in the coming weeks at social dancing on Tuesdays. We're looking for a new venue for Glasgow - something near an underground station and in a lively area. If you think you know of a venue or would like us to look around your area, give us a shout! Also, we're looking for people to help hand out flyers and really build the scene for next year... Speaking of scene building, check out the gigs coming soon.
