Smorgasbord of Swing
Albany & Saratoga Springs, NY
"What?" you say. Well, for starters, I like to think of this as "all your favorite people are in Albany". It will be an eclectic weekend of workshops and social dancing with a literal smorgasbord of options: up to 8 different local/regional instructors, each teaching a class in one aspect of swing that they're particularly good at. Plus, a live band; and latenight blues... And free housing, of course.

NEWSFLASH!
So far, reponse to the "Smorgasbord of Swing" weekend has been quite good! Dancers are coming from as far away as Rochester. Thank you so much to everyone who already registered. At this time, we have slightly more followers in all the classes, so I'm encouraging any guys who haven't registered to do so now!
Early Registration Deadline Extended Til Friday!
To make your life a bit easier, I'm extending the early-registration-deadline: You can still register at the very affordable early prices until midnight this FRIDAY JAN 7!
