Beginner Lindy Hop Lesson 8-9
SwingBuffalo.com officially went online December 5th, 2007. This December, Friday December 5th marks the 1 year anniversary of bringing Buffalo swing dances, classes, performances, and organized trips. Come celebrate this momentous occasion with lots of fun, food, dancing, music, instruction, and hilarity!
This has been a terrific year. When before, there was no lindy hop scene to speak of in Buffalo, there's now a vibrant and talented scene. We are known in the region from Toronto, to Pittsburgh, to Albany and beyond. Visitors from all over stop at our weekly dances and instruction, DJ'ing, performances, and demoes provided by SwingBuffalo have been requested numerous times by other organizations in and outside of Buffalo.
I quickly looked through our calendar and made a rough tally of the events created and/or sponsored by SwingBuffalo as of December 5th, 2008. They include:
159 Classes in Jitterbug, Lindy Hop, Charleston, Shim Sham, Musicality, & Balboa
63 Weekly dances
4 Large Dances (including this anniversary dance)
2 Contests
9 Performances
Not only that, but SwingBuffalo.com's efforts (and dancers) have been noted in print, on the radio, on the web, in magazines, and on TV. These include, but are not limited to, WGR55, WBLS, Buffalo Spree, Buffalo Rising, The Buffalo News, and News Channel 4. We've had 3 articles alone in Buffalo Rising.
As the founder of SwingBuffalo.com, I'm extremely gratified to see so many young people get excited about traditional street forms of swing dancing such as Lindy Hop and Balboa. And to see them not be able to stay still when big band music comes through the speakers inspires and energizes me. And when members of the swing dance troupe created by SwingBuffalo.com (Queen City Swing) started traveling to national events, I knew I'd succeeded in giving them the bug. The friends we've made and the terrific times we've had demand a celebration! So let's all get together December 5th to celebrate 1 year of bringing Lindy Hop, Charleston, & Balboa to Western New York!
