July 30 - Swing Clinic and Live Music!

Wednesday July 30th is a big day for SwingCville!

1) Swing Clinic
If you haven't been to one of our Swing Clinic's you are missing out! Get one-on-one feedback from a variety of instructors in this intensive, fast paced lesson. Many students say they get more out of this lesson than in a whole month's worth of group lessons. Space is limited, and we will not be accepting walk-ins. Please sign up in advance on the Swing Clinic page.

2) LIVE MUSIC: Chelsea Reed and the Fair Weather Five
Our first out-of-town band to grace Cats Corner! Help us welcome Chelsea and her band to Charlottesville. They will be playing from 9-11pm. Check 'em out at http://thefairweatherfive.com/
