Southern Belle Swing Bash, Our 4th Year!
Southern Belle Swing Bash is a workshop weekend devoted to women's role in Lindy Hop and all forms of jazz dance. Now in our fourth year, Southern Belles is the longest running annual ladies' Lindy Hop workshop in the country! (And maybe the world. We're pretty sure in the world.) We're celebrating by bringing you three workshop tracks this year, for an intense and focused series of classes tailored to your level. 2008 will also feature our first all-ladies DJ line-up. And continuing the tradition of past years, we will have high energy contests, late night dances, and live music. The website is being updated with details as they are confirmed, so check back often!
Welcome Ramona, Evita, and Gina!
"From New York to Down South", our instructor lineup this year is sure to please! We've got a range of personalities overflowing with style, attitude, and analysis, and we know you'll love hearing what they've got to say. To learn more, visit our instructor page!
Leaders, we want you, too!
Southern Belle Swing Bash literally could not happen without our volunteer leaders. Since Lindy Hop is a partner dance, we rely on you guys to come lead solid basics for our followers so that they can work on their dancing and become better partners for all of you! Click here to learn about what's involved in volunteering, and how to get in *free* to the entire weekend.
T-Shirt Design Contest!
We know there are lots of creative ladies out there who could come up with something fabulous for our 2008 Southern Belles t-shirts. Send us your one-color design to: Jaya. We'll judge the entries, pick our favorite, and the winner will receive a FREE PASS to the weekend! So get those crayons out (or fancy graphic design software) and get creative! We look forward to seeing your ideas. Contest deadline is August 15th.
