Spring News
Welcome to our Spring News! edition!

We are still traveling and have really been inspired in so many ways.  Travel is the best
education in so many ways.  It teaches you to broaden your mind and be grateful every minute of the day.

I am looking forward to the last quarter of the year probably my favourite time of year with ChromeFest and end of year Christmas Party coming up.

New Courses
New courses have begun at Concord and Emu Plains 2 weeks ago and Gosford will be back on a new night starting Thursday 6 October.
Also, new courses for Katoomba coming 6 September.
Tell your friends and spread the word.  Details will be posted on the website early September.

ChromeFest
I am pleased to say that Friday Sockhop is a SOLD OUT event and there are still Tickets available for Saturday Night Jive. Tickets for the Saturday event may be purchased directly from the Chromefest website.  Please note I will be hosting the event but I am not
responsible for the sale of tickets.

End of Year Christmas Party
Lastly, tickets for a Night at the Albert are on back on sale.  Pre sale Tickets may be
purchased by simply emailing me.  Direct Deposit is available now and from mid September you may purchase the tickets via the website.
We have the Aston Martinis playing for us for the event in the most grand setting at the Albert Palais in Leichhardt.  There is street parking and I’ve been told there is a car park nearby as well. If you purchased tickets earlier this year you need not to anything.

Upcoming Festivals
ChromeFest 21 & 22 Oct
North QLD Swing Festival 10-11 September

Saying
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the attention to arrive safely in a well and preserved body but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up,
totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow, What a ride!”….Hunter S. Thompson

Magical May

Welcome Welcome Welcome
May we suggest you sit down relax grab a cuppa and read on.
They say April Showers brings May Flowers.  My ballet slipper orchids are on point
flowering away.

May is dedicated to Mothers Day and we wish all you mums, mums to be and fill in mums a very Special Mothers Day.

May is also Frankie Manning’s Birthday Anniversary and a true treasure to all Swing Lovers around the world.  Frankie would have been 108 years this year on 26 May.  What better way to celebrate this year at our Night at the Albert Palais showcasing that very era.

29 April International Dance Day
International Dance Day is a global celebration of dance and is celebrated every year on 29 April.  Grab a partner and go dancing!
General
Firstly, I would like to thank the team for hosting the BSS Birthday Party during my absence and thank you all for the great feedback. This event was well attended and a huge
success. It is also gratifying to see the Festivals have started back with great attendance and success.
I was so pleased to see the Swing Katz back performing at the Parkes Elvis Festival.

Future Festivals to put in your diary
Cooly Rocks  8-12 June
Wintersun 9-10 July
Chromefest. 21-23 October

Classes
Class numbers are slowly coming back to life but we have definitely taken a hard hit with fewer beginner enrolments than previous years which have resulted in some venue
closures.  We do apologise for these closures but it was a necessary evil.
We also apologise for some of our cancelled courses due to poor enrolments.
We are extremely thankful to our intermediate classes for their loyalty and attendance it is very much appreciated and doesn’t go unnoticed and we do hope our new students who have joined us are enjoying their journey.

A Night at the Albert Palais PLEASE NOTE EVENT DATE CHANGED TO 26 NOVEMBER
If you are looking for an excuse to dress up and go out dancing in a historic venue we have our next event at the Albert Palais in Leichhardt on Saturday 26 NOVEMBER.
This venue will not disappoint and we have secured the Cool Swinging Aston Martinis, a crowd favourite.
Join us for an elegant affair and evening of fun and
celebration.
