Pat's Patter

[Pat Noakes]

Hi Everyone,

Although our dance school has closed, I thought some of you may be interested to know about a few events for Swing Dancing and Jazz around Melbourne.   If you do not wish to receive these newsletters, please let me know and I'll remove your email address from the distribution list.

This month's swing diary has been a little rushed, so if you are uncertain about anything please check the details to avoid disappointment.  Any updated information you can let me have that can improve the accuracy of the gig list,  will be gratefully received.  I should also mention that I am including music venues where there may not be areas set aside for dancing, again best to check if you don't wish to just sit and listen.

I am also thrilled that Rusty and Lexi have been able to start up classes on a Tuesday evening at our old Ashburton venue and will also be running a monthly dance there on the third Saturday of each month.  Please get behind them and spread the good word.  (see attached flyer for class details)

Swing & Jazz Diary

Just a reminder that not all venues have places to dance, or have told us their details have changed - best to check if you're not sure.  Please let me know if you see any errors or know of anything to add.
