Sadly we must cancel the Valentine's Day Sock Hop that was scheduled for tonight. Downtown is still a mess, and there's more snow on the way tonight. We will try to reschedule for sometime in the spring.
But don't give up hope! Next weekend we will have our regular Cville Savoy dance on Saturday, February 22nd, with a special guest instructor to be announced in the next day or so. Stay tuned!

SwingCville closed today!
Well folks, it looks like we'll be snowed in. No dancing tonight, unless you feel like doing it at home in your pajamas with a cup of hot chocolate. Actually, that doesn't sound half bad!
At this point we are still planning to have our Valentine's Day Sock Hop on Friday, depending on how good the Charlottesville crews are at clearing the streets after tomorrow's apocalypse. Stay tuned for further announcements!

Blues Workshops with Joy Arico!
Surprise! We've added 4 hours of blues workshops to Bring on the Blues. Even if you're not registered for the weekend, you can still sign up for the workshops. It's only $15 for 4 hours - what a deal!
From Novice to Rockstar in 4 Hours
Blues Movement Intensive with Joy Arico
One goal of this course is to reinforce many basics of the blues in our own bodies first. We will also work on several solo blues moves that are fun partnered. You may or may not have heard the term "Blues Aesthetic" before. You may or may not believe in it. Joy builds all of her classes and concepts on the belief that there is an attainable, teachable "Blues Aesthetic." These basics and solo movements are designed to help each of us build it.
