West Coast Swing Workshop - Thank-you

a smashing success!

Thank-you to everyone who made our West Coast Swing workshop a smashing success: Nancy and Deborah for teaching and filling in in class, the Saskatoon Lindy Hop team for helping out with the dance, Anita from defSOL for providing a great space for the dance, Jay for helping with the music and of course everyone who made it out, especially Amanda and Devin who drove up from Moose Jaw. This has been our most successful workshop weekend yet!

The Swing, Blues and Soul dance also had great energy, it's unfortunate we had to end at midnight. We will be donating $140 from the dance do the Canadian Red Cross to help with relief efforts in Haiti.
