Friends,

NOLA JITTERBUGS is expanding!! Thank you for your support.

In November 2009 NOLA Jitterbugs started one 4-week series for Lindy
Hop. The class had only 8-10 people. Since November, the series has
grown into three levels with 30-50 students learning to social swing
dance monthly.

Starting in May 2010 NOLA Jitterbugs is proud to announce: We are
adding teachers and classes! Introductions are in order…Please join us
in welcoming these great dancers to our New Orleans community.
