Coming up soon!

[Stan Yen]

Hey all,

First of all, thanks to everyone who came out for the Crash Course last
weekend! We had a great time and we hope you did too! See you this
Sunday at Balboa on a Sunday Afternoon...

Quick summary of what's coming up in the near and slightly less near
future, see below for more detail on each:

1. Baby Soda at BSC this Friday, May 18 (tomorrow night!)
2. Balboa on a Sunday Afternoon, May 20
3. Just two more needed for 2nd group discount for All Balboa Weekend
4. Hot Club of Cowtown plays BSC in July!
5. TinkerBal! (What?) Save the date!


=======================================================================
Friday, May 18th -- Baby Soda plays at Boston Swing Central!
We kinda love this band from NY -- they sometimes have a more
charlston-y feel, but it's still great music for Balboa, especially when
they start cookin'. Hope to see you there!

=======================================================================
Sunday, May 20th -- Balboa on a Sunday Afternoon!
This Sunday! We'll once again have a beginner lesson starting at 3:30pm
with open practice time starting at 4:30pm and DJ'd music kicking in
around 5.

All Balboa Weekend group discount
- We still need just 2 more people to commit to attending All Balboa
Weekend (June 7-11) to get another discount. If you haven't already
registered or you already registered and haven't told me you want to be
part of the group, shoot me an email and we'll get this thing done!
You'll save a bit more than $20 each for you and 8 other people!

Thursday, July 26th -- Hot Club of Cowtown at Boston Swing Central
In recent years, we've only been able to catch Hot Club of Cowtown in
venues without much of a dance floor and we've had to make do in small
corners or on concrete. Well, the folks at Boston Swing Central have
managed to catch them on the northeast leg of their upcoming summer tour
for a special Thursday night dance. (Props to our own David Fisher for
getting the ball rolling on this!) Let's try to help pack the joint so
we can get more of these special treats! Tell all your friends, even the
ones who might not dance but love the music. They sound like a cross
between Django Reinhardt and Bob Wills - hot!

October 13-14 -- TinkerBal! Save the date!
TinkerBal is a small-group Balboa workshop designed to support
personalized learning. This weekend is a chance to really delve into the
details of your Balboa. Note that we will be capping registration to
keep groups small and to maintain lead-follow balance.

Our instructors are four of the world's best: David Rehm, Teni
Lopez-Cardenas, Bobby White, and Kate Hedin. Class content will be
tailored by the instructors to the needs of each group.

Registration should open sometime in mid-June. Check out the website for
more details!

Hope to see you soon, dancing Bal!
