Greetings!
 
Imagine, the 9th weekly edition of WCSDE's Newsletter for Sarasota and Tampa Bay Area West Coast Swing Dancers!  Already!  Hard to believe I find so much to say...LOL :) 
 
Thanks again to all of you who came to the 3rd Friday dance this past Friday (Nov 18) with Guest Instructors Renee Lipman & Tommy Gibbs, DJ Bobby Caudill, and our new all-night dance host and instructor for beginners...John Henning. It was another 3rd Friday with great food, great music and lots of dancing.
 
And we left for the November 19 Road Trip to 1st Danz in Ft. Myers directly following the dance...and what a great time we had ... the workshop, the dance and late night at Perkins...what a blast.  Thanks so much to Cindy-Lee and all the Ft. Myers dancers for making us feel so welcome.
