Swing News Update
Dear Swingers,I have some bad news and some good news. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD TO ANYONE ELSE YOU KNOW.
The bad news is that for the first time since I started teaching swing in the Penh, I regret that I will have to cancel the regularly scheduled classes both this Thursday and the next. Something has come up at work that I cannot get out of, and I am truly sorry for this. HOWEVER...there is also GOOD news.
Marco has graciously offered to move the furniture out of our dance space at Equinox so that I can teach the Beginners' class there for the next two weeks. The catch is, the class won't start until 8:30. So, head on over to Equinox at the usual time, and I will start the class as soon as I can get there. I may be a few minutes late, but you can have a drink until I arrive. For those of you who have been a bit shy, this will be the perfect opportunity for you to come out to Equinox and see just how much fun it is.
So, just to review: Advance class is cancelled this week and next. The Beginner class will be at Equinox from 8:30-9:30, upstairs. This of course will be followed by social dancing until the last person is left standing, as usual. If any of you advanced dancers want to reschedule another time, we can plan something.
Also, this Sunday is.........SWING SUNSET AT SNOWY'S!!! Remember, Snowy gives drink specials!!! Let's get some good practice in before the BIG SWING OUT WEEKEND!
