HSDS is Moving!
It's a new year and a new HOME for HSDS! The Houston Swing Dance Society is MOVING in 2010! HSDS is relocating all of our Sunday night dances and classes to the NEW Barbara King Dance Studio (5410 Bellaire Blvd, Bellaire, TX 77401) effective January 3rd, 2010.
Besides moving to a wonderful new dance studio, nothing else will change; rates, class times, teachers and dances will all remain the same!!
In the next few weeks we'll be sending out plenty of reminders, but we don't have everyone's email. Please, help us out by letting all your friends know about our big move. We hope you'll join us on our journey!
Then January elective is Beginning Balboa. As always, the elective starts at 7:30pm on the first Sunday of the month! If you're a member, this class is included in your monthly dues!
Lindyfest is just around the corner...March 11-14th 2010 and registration is now officially open! Lindyfest is an intensive and fun lindy hop weekend workshop jammed packed with classes for all dance levels, soul sessions with living legends, hot performances and four endless nights of dancing. Lindyfest brings in hundreds of dancers from all across the globe to learn lindy hop from the masters and experience the excitement of Lindy Hop, all here in Houston.
Get ready for the Lone Star Championships, January 15th-17th, 2010, an unbeatable social/party/competition event weekend in Austin, TX. Lone Star is a high quality event where social dancing all night, inspired competitions and amazing workshops are the norm! They have well over 20 hours of social dancing planned and all of the competitions are social dance competitions - Jack and Jills and Strictlys. The judges don't want to see routines or a bunch of planned stuff... so no stress on your part, no need to prepare a routine, just come enjoy the weekend.
Don't miss out on the fantastic line-up with workshops by Nina Gilkenson, Carla Heiney, Laura Glaess, Nick Williams, Todd Yannacone, Mike Faltesek, and Mikey Pedroza.
Registration is only $109 until January 12th and $119 at the door! This is going to be a great event you won't want to miss!
Lone Star supports the idea that competitions bring us together to push and inspire each other to grow as dancers and as a community, with a healthy dose of support and cheer for each other. Lone Star has created a space for all Lindy Hoppers to perform and compete with like-leveled dancers - from newcomers who have never competed, all the way up to the top competitors in the country. That's why at Lone Star this year they'll have 4 levels of Jack and Jills: Newcomer, Intermediate, Advanced, and All-Star.
