Starting a Swing Dance: Opening Remarks

 I've been devoting a lot of time and energy toward starting a new local swing dance.  We're starting small but we are having a great time.

More Videos over on the S Cubed Website

This is the first post of an ongoing series of posts about the important details of starting a new weekly swing.  Some is this stuff is going to be the behind the scenes details that no one mentions about running an ongoing event and a lot of it will be a collection of information that I wish had been available as I was getting started.

Here are some of the Highlights:

• Starting a business
• Event Insurance
• Music Licensing
• Teaching 
• DJing
• Advertising

Opening Night Jitters

Tonight is the Opening Night for the S Cubed Productions Saturday Swing Dance and I have lots of feelings!

I'm super excited about this entire adventure.  Tonight is the culmination of eight months of planning and plotting.  In retrospect, Labor Day Weekend may not have been the best choice for opening night but it'll be fun anyway.  I think that at the end of the day we will be as prepared as possible and anything leftover will just be details.

So here is what is happening tonight:


Schedule of Events:
7:30-8:30pm Beginning Swing Drop In Lesson
8:30-11:00pm Dance to DJ’d Music

Location:
Tabor Heights United Methodist Church
6161 SE Stark St. Portland, OR 97215

Free parking is available or take the bus. The Church is easy walking distance from the 15, 20 or 71 lines.

$5 Cover includes the Beginning Swing Lesson

Announcement: S Cubed Productions!

You might have noticed that my word counts for this month have been rather low despite my alleged participation in Camp NaNoWriMo.  That is because my mental energy has been going towards the final preparation for a major event in my other life's passion: Lindy Hop.
