It is going to be extra super dooper fun!<br><br>We
start off the evening with an awesome (yet pretty easy) JITTERBUG
LESSON with Andy Lammers and Valerie Salstrom from 8pm-9pm. No need for
a partner for the dance lesson (or dance). We rotate partners during
the lesson so you will get to dance with both new and experienced
dancers....and meet lots of fun people <span class="text_exposed_show">on the way. :)<br><br>IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THE JITTERBUG LESSONS AT 9pm, there will be a few performances by
the Cleveland Junior Jitterbugs. The Junior Jitterbugs started as a
FREE after school swing dance program for elementary school children in
the Brooklyn Centre neighborhood that is partially funded by a grant
from Neighborhood Connections. When the school year ended the students
begged me (Valerie) to continue teaching them in the Summer, so a few of
the team members were selected to continue and now we have four local
partnerships that will be competing in the Junior division at the
International Lindy Hop Championships (ILHC) in Washington, DC in just a
few weeks. Please come and see their progress and wish them good luck.
*All of the dance instruction the students have received this Summer
to prepare them for ILHC has been for FREE. Swing dance teachers from
around the United States have donated choreography to each couple in the
Junior Jitterbugs and that choreography has been taught to the students
for free by Valerie Salstrom and Matt Mitchell. <br><br>THE DAVE
KASPER QUINTET WILL BEGIN THEIR FIRST SET AT 9:15ish. As Dave and the
gang plays do not be afraid to go up and ask someone to dance. Ask
someone you met during the pre-dance lesson, ask someone who is standing
near you on the dance floor, ask someone who is tapping their toes or
swaying to the music....I bet they all would love to dance with you.
Did you know that almost no one says no when you ask them to dance?
Girls! Guys! Get out there and ask someone to dance!<br><br>AT THE
FIRST BAND BREAK AROUND 10pm, we will have Matt Mitchell and Sasha Gross
performing the routine they will be competing with in the Pro-Am
division at the International Lindy Hop Championships. In the Pro-Am
division an amateur dancer (Sasha) works on a routine with a
professional dancer (Matt) but only the amateur is judged. This will be
pretty exciting for Sasha as she is only 15 and this will be her first
time competing in this division. <br><br>BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!
after Matt and Sasha perform we will all take a step outside to enjoy
some FREE FREEZER POPS!!! Ahhhhhh...what a nice cool treat! --ps. I
need some volunteers to show up with scissors and help cut off the tops
of the freezer pops for people. <br><br>DON'T GO BACK INSIDE YET! We
have MORE fun! We have a frozen t shirt contest! A wha? Huh? What
the heck is that you say? Welllll, we have some frozen t shirts, frozen
solid t shirts, and you have to try to wrangle those suckers and put
them on. First person to get a frozen t shirt on wins FOUR FREE GET HEP
SWING DANCE PASSES!!! At $12 a pop that is a pretty darn good prize.
Be sure to arrive early to sign up for this awesome and possibly frost
bite inducing contest! <br><br>AT AROUND 10:30ish THE DAVE KASPER QUINTET will begin to play again for your dancing pleasure. <br><br>****Please
be sure to stop by the front desk and make a donation to the Cleveland
Junior Jitterbugs' International Lindy Hop Championships' fund. They
need money to help pay for such things as costumes and shoes and the
practice spaces they have been using to help them prepare for the event.
Thank you for all of your generosity and support! We are all very
excited to represent Cleveland and the Cleveland swing dance scene!<br><br>The dance goes until midnight and we hope you last that long. <br><br>Remember that you do not need any previous dance experience or a dance partner to attend the pre-dance lesson or the dance. <br><br>The
dance is located at the Lakewood Masonic Temple at 15300 Detroit
Avenue, Lakewood, Ohio. (very near 150th/Warren and Detroit) Park in
the back and enter through the front. Cold beverages and light snacks
are always for sale at this dance. <br><br>The cost is only $12 per person or $10 for students and seniors with a valid ID. <br><br>For more information please see <a href="http://www.GetHepSwing.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.GetHepSwing.com</a> or call Valerie at 216-374-1927.<br><br></span></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div id="pagelet_event_wall" data-referrer="pagelet_event_wall"><div id="event_profile_wall"><div class="eventsWhiteComposer"><div id="feedwall_with_composer"><div class="pbm"><div class="uiComposer uiComposerHideContent stat_elem uiComposerTopBorder uiComposerOpen uiComposerHideContent uiComposerWhiteMessageBox" id="u136932_4"><div class="focus_target"><form rel="async" class="attachmentSelectForm" action="/" method="get"><ul class="uiList uiListHorizontal clearfix uiComposerAttachments"><li class="uiListItem uiListHorizontalItemBorder uiListHorizontalItem"><span class="fsm fwb fcg">Share:</span></li><li class="plm uiListItem uiListHorizontalItemBorder uiListHorizontalItem"><span class="uiComposerAttachment postAttachment uiComposerAttachmentSelected" id="u136932_5" data-endpoint="/ajax/composer/attachment/wallpost/wallpost.php"><span class="uiIconText selected"><i class="img sp_82bsig sx_e62bd7"></i><strong class="attachmentName">Post<i class="nub"></i></strong></span></span></li><li class="plm uiListItem uiListHorizontalItemBorder uiListHorizontalItem"><span class="uiComposerAttachment linkAttachment" id="u136932_7" data-endpoint="/ajax/composer/attachment/link/link.php"><a class="uiIconText attachmentLink normal" tabindex="0"><i class="img sp_82bsig sx_4b4623" style="top: -1px;"></i><strong class="attachmentName">Link</strong></a></span></li><li class="plm uiListItem uiListHorizontalItemBorder uiListHorizontalItem"><span class="uiComposerAttachment photoAttachment" id="u136932_8" data-endpoint="/ajax/composer/attachment/photo/photo.php"><a class="uiIconText attachmentLink normal" tabindex="0"><i class="img sp_82bsig sx_7e27de"></i><strong class="attachmentName">Photo</strong></a></span></li><li class="plm uiListItem uiListHorizontalItemBorder uiListHorizontalItem"><span class="uiComposerAttachment" id="u136932_9" data-endpoint="/ajax/composer/attachment/video/video.php"><a class="uiIconText attachmentLink normal" tabindex="0"><i class="img sp_82bsig sx_e4db82"></i><strong class="attachmentName">Video</strong></a></span></li></ul></form><div class="showWhenOpen mutableContent"><form rel="async" class="attachmentForm" action="/ajax/updatestatus.php" method="post"><div class="uiComposerMessageBox uiComposerMessageBoxMentions"><div class="pas inputContainer"><div class="uiMentionsInput" id="u136932_6"><div class="highlighter"><div><span class="highlighterContent"></span></div></div><div class="uiTypeahead composerTypeahead mentionsTypeahead" id="u136932_11"><div class="wrap"><div class="innerWrap"><textarea class="DOMControl_placeholder uiTextareaAutogrow input mentionsTextarea textInput" title="Write something..." name="xhpc_message" placeholder="Write something..." autocomplete="off">Write something...</textarea></div></div><div class="uiTypeaheadView" id="u136932_10"></div></div></div></div></div></form></div></div></div></div><div class="UIIntentionalStream UIStream" id="c4e4148f94e7ac9e76763371"><ul class="uiList uiStream UIIntentionalStream_Content" id="home_stream"></ul><div></div></div><div id="pagelet_events_pager_wrapper"></div></div></div></div></div></div><div id="bottomContent"><div class="ptm uiBoxWhite topborder"><div class="fsm fwn fcg"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/ajax/events/export.php?eid=192021540861203" rel="dialog"></a></div></div></div><div apple-content-edited="true"> <div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div><br>Valerie Salstrom</div><div>Owner of Get Hep Swing, Ltd.</div><div>216-374-1927</div><div><a href="mailto:info@GetHepSwing.com">info@GetHepSwing.com</a></div><div><br></div></div><br><br></div> </div><br></body></html>
