It seems to be a quiet time on the dance front for the next few weeks, but then you have "Move Across the River" in Cincinnati to end the year, coming up on November 12th thru the 16th.


 

Paul Hennessey and his crew will have another great dance to end our dance year. Make your way to Cincy and enjoy some great music (Butch and Sue from BIB will be there) and great dance workshops (Mike & Debbe and Steve & Kathy from BIB will be there). When you get back, you'll be less than a month away from DCBA's Holiday Ball!

 

Our Holiday ball will be at the Moose Lodge on December 13th from 7 pm until 11 pm. This will be a dinner dance with a great meal at 7:30 pm. As always our members get in for $5, but, for this dance (which is a member appreciation dance), non-members will be $20. Lots of fun and surprises will be supplied along with DJ Eric providing all the tunes. I hope you make plans now to join us.

 

Keep in mind that our 25th Anniversary apparel will be discontinued as of December 31st. This was a special one year only design and will not be available after that date. You can access Embroidery on Demand from the links below. Order now to arrive for Christmas!

 

DJ Jim will be at the controls on Tuesday night at Porter's. Come out and enjoy his great music and, maybe, the video screens will be working also.


Vicki and I hope to see you there!

No Frills New Years Eve Dance



Lora Clark wanted to let everyone know they are having a No Frills New Years Eve Party. Lora's dance description and a flyer are below.

The dance we are having is just that, a dance.  Nothing special.  I wanted to tell everyone about it in case people are looking for a place to go.

 

We rent the VFW on Grantline Rd in New Albany.  They have a nice big wood floor.  Drinks are cheap.

 

We are playing music from my ipod.  Last year many people brought appetizer type snacks to share (leftover Christmas goodies).  There was plenty.

 

We dress very casual (no need to buy anything special to wear or get your hair done etc) and the price is $12 in advance or $15 at door to cover the cost of renting the hall.  We had a great time.

 

Anyway, here's the flyer and my contact info if someone has questions.

 

Thanks!

DCBA DJ Jim Brown will be one of the featured DJ's
 
Jim has been a DJ on number of these ABA Cruise dances
 
There has been a change in the cruise date and the ship.

The ship has been changed to the Caribbean Princess, a Grand Class Princess ship, much larger than the originally scheduled ship and what a beauty she is.

To make things even better...we get a private lounge on the ship for dancing!

There are dance lessons galore and great fun with friends!

Many of our DCBA members have reserved Balcony rooms on deck 10.

They throw open the connecting doorways between balconies and party together.

It's great fun!
 
We have included a link to the cruise flyer below.
 
You must book your cruise through Just Cruisin' to attend the ABA events!

DCBA logo small DCBA Club Store




We have made arrangements with Embroidery On Demand to provide various items with our club logo to our members. Many of you who attended Boogie In The Bluegrass may remember Embroidery On Demand as one of our most popular vendors. They provided some outstanding items with our club logo embroidered onto them. Embroidery is so much more attractive and long lasting than screen printed items.

 

Embroidery On Demand has created a DCBA Web Store with various items available to our members.

  

We have received a few samples for people to view but rest assured, these are high quality garments.

 

The DCBA Web Store is now open and we hope to add new items as we develop this concept.

Would you like to see the 25th anniversary logos available through the end of the year only? Embroidery On Demand created these logos which may be used on apparel purchased through our DCBA web store or by purchasing apparel at our upcoming Boogie In The Bluegrass Dance. These logos will be retired as of December 31st, 2014 and will not be available again, so get your logo apparel while you can!

 

 

 

 

 

 

We hope you like the 25th anniversary logos so be sure to contact Embroidery On Demand to order your apparel! 

 

 

  

 

DCBA Is On Facebook And Twitter


Many of you follow Derby City Bop on Facebook, but did you know we also have a Twitter page? Did you know we actually have two different Facebook Accounts?

Hang on a minute and we'll explain.

Most of you who follow us on Facebook do so using our Facebook Group. This Facebook Group is designed as a place for our members to gather and share information with one another. If you don't currently follow our Facebook Group, click the logo below to visit our Group page.


We also maintain a Facebook Page. This is an area on Facebook where we post pertinent information about Derby City Bop. You may Join our page and we suggest you check it often as we always post information about upcoming dances as well as links to our emails.

We also have a Twitter account although we haven't really used it that much.

It's more like instant communications.

We would like to encourage everyone to Follow Us on Twitter and we will make an effort to keep you posted via Twitter.
