Hi folks -- based on feedback from dancers I've talked to at various dances, I'm going to re-focus this e-mail to announce the one-a-month swing dances at Oddfellows rather than sending it out weekly. I'll send an e-mail out periodically if there's a special event you should know about.
So, here's what's coming up:
Saturday 9/5: Monthly Oddfellows swing dance
Oddfellows Hall (see below for address). Beginner Lesson 8-9pm with Mike Garcia, Dance 9-late, $5 ($3 for students)
Mike Garcia will be DJ'ing the next monthly swing dance. His drop-in beginner lesson is a great way to get your friends started with swing dancing for the first time.
Ongoing events and classes:
Sundays: Beginner and Int. Progressive Swing classes with Mike Garcia!
All classes at Dance Station: 901 W Alameda St # 20,

This is a great place to bring new people to take Mike's drop-in beginner swing class. The beginner lesson is from 7-8pm, with the dance from 8-10pm.
Albuquerque's swing crowd runs a web-site where you can keep up to date on all their swing events, including a sign-up form for their mailing list. Check it out here:
