This is our instructor for the day folks!

Dance of the Living Dead, featuring Swing Buffalo's first ever DJ Battle! Who will raise the dead?! We have two contenders: the venerable Sam Copeland and the feisty Zoë Leach. These two have been crafting their playlists for weeks now, so it's sure to be a killer-diller night of music and dancing! The audience will elect the winner by secret ballot, so be sure to come to cast your vote. Songs will be announced and you'll be able to identify the current DJ by their donning of a viking helmet.
We will be having a costume contest, so dress-up! (though it's not required). New-Orleans themed zombies will be given special consideration, though all types of costume are welcome. This will give you a chance to test out that costume for all hallow's eve. Nostalgic and fun halloween games and treats will add to the evening's festivities. We are really doing it up this year, so don't miss the fun!
Only $4. Beginner lesson included.

Valentine's Day Dance with the Skiffle Minstrels at Lindy Fix



On Valentine's Day, Tuesday February 14th 2012, Lindy Fix will host a very special event: a Valentine's Day Dance with the Skiffle Minstrels!

With Swing Buffalo's award winning half-hour swing lesson, you and your valentine will have no problem loosening those ankles for a fun night of frolicking on the floor. What better way to spend the holiday than with your sweetie in your arms, cuttin' a rug to some of the honky tonkiest and boot skootin'est home grown music in Buffalo?

Don't have a date? Come on in! This dance will be a great place for singles to mingle as well. Our lesson is a great ice-breaker because we rotate partners (though you and your valentine may choose to stay out of rotation if you so desire). And there's no experience necessary either! We will give you the steps that will allow you to move to the music.

This special event will be $10 per person (or $18 for every valentine couple). $2 discount for students! If you're coming, go to our facebook event page and let us know.

Intro to Lindy Hop
Partner Dance Class
7-8 Tuesdays Jan. 17th - Feb 21st
Polish Cadets Hall, 927 Grant Street, Buffalo SwingBuffalo@gmail.com



On Tuesday January 17th, Swing Buffalo presents "Intro to Lindy Hop". Lindy Hop is a vintage form of Swing Dance made popular during the swing era (30’s & 40’s), originating from the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem. If you've found a groove with East Coast Swing and would like to learn this more versatile and dynamic dance, the one that all the inspirational dancers out there on the floor do, you can pre-register for Intro to Lindy Hop at a huge discount. Also, the class includes $4 off your Lindy Fix admission (the dance and beginner lesson after the class). At the request of the venue proprietor, please see the website for pricing. As always, re-takes are free. If you've taken Intro to Lindy Hop before, you can participate in the class for free (though you'll still have to pay to attend Lindy Fix). We'll cover the awesome styling that will make you stand out on the dance floor and work on the feel of your connection so that everyone will want you as their partner! So pre-register today. Email SwingBuffalo@gmail.com to find out how. Sponsored by SwingBuffalo.com, winner of the 2011 "Best Dance Classes" by Buffalo Spree. Classes will be taught by Rob & Zoë Leach. Not partner necessary. Beginners welcome. If you're not sure you're ready for the plunge into Lindy Hop, don't forget, we always have a beginner East Coast lesson at Lindy Fix every Tuesday (http://LindyFix.com). If you start attending now, you might even be ready for Intro to Lindy by January 17th!
