Dear Dancin' Friends,

Join me in Juanita this Friday for the monthly Hustle Club Dance! Vicki Gabrielle is still out of town so this in my second month in a row subbing for her. I'll start by teaching beginning Hustle basics at 7:30 PM. Then, by request, I'll use those basics to build a fun amalgamation called "Starship" for the 8:15 PM intermediate lesson. Dance from 9 to 11 PM as I DJ a variety of fun music ... about half Hustle and half Swing, Ballroom, Latin and Country.

On Saturday I plan to attend two dances. The 85th Street Big Band plays from 7 to 9 PM at 3rd Place Commons in Lake Forest Park. This is a FREE dance and they get big crowds ... especially when this band plays! I'm looking forward to dancing with many people I haven't seen in some time. Then I'll skip down ... well, actually drive down ... to Ballard where Hot Club Sandwich will be heatin' up the Leif Lounge. This feels like home to me with lots of my dance friends always there!

Details on these and other events are below followed by a new two-week Dance Calendar.

See you dancing! -- Ron Bolin, The Dancin' DJ
