Swing dance in Lakewood this Friday, July 14th. Jitterbug lesson from 8-9. 17 piece big band from 9-12. Only $5 for first timers!
by Valerie Salstrom via NEohioPAL 11 Jul '17

11 Jul '17

The Lakewood Masonic Temple swing dance is the longest running swing dance in the Cleveland area. Amazing live music and DJs have been keeping everyone's toes tapping the second Friday of every month since before 1998. The Lakewood Masonic Temple is located at 15300 Detroit Avenue. Over 150 people attending each month and ttendees have a variety of dance experience (including none) and come from all walks of life and ages. You will not need to bring a dance partner. We rotate partners during the dance lesson. How often do you get to meet 50-100 new people in under an hour? We provide the highest quality swing dance instruction from some of the nicest, most patient people you will ever meet. Our staff includes regional, nationa,l and international swing dance competitors (and winners) in multiple swing dance forms. Dances are $12 per person, $10 for students and seniors with a valid ID, $5 for first timers. From 8-9pm Get Hep Swing owner and instructor, Valerie Salstrom and Bryan Hlavacek will lead a beginner-friendly, jitterbug lesson. Remember, you do not need a partner as we rotate partners during this lesson. Also, if you are attending this lesson with a partner and you prefer not to rotate, that is fine too. We are really easy going. Do what makes you happy. 9-12 the TrueNorth Big Band hits the stage. Each month we feature a different band. DJs play a variety of swing dance-able tunes during the band breaks. The Lakewood Masonic Temple does not have AC but we use mutliple fans to keep the heat and sweat at bay. We recommend you bring a small towel to clear the perspiration from your brow. Many people bring a few clean, dry shirts to change into. Sweating is unavoidable in any athletic endeavor but, no one wants to dance with the swamp monster. We have 75 free ice cold flavor pops to give away during the first band break. Come and see us on the front porch if you would like one. We sell cold water and soda for cheap and the money goes to fund our swing dance programing for youth. We welcome anyone to join us who has an interest in dance, music, socializing and fun. We don't care what your physical ability or size is, where you are in life, where you are on the spectrum of sexual or gender orientation, what color or creed, or non-creed, you are. Are you a man who wants to learn how to follow or a woman who wants to learn how to lead? That's cool! This idea is not new to the swing dance scene. We are the easiest club to join. If you have an interest, you are in. :) We love spreading the gospel of swing dancing and we are excited to share the language and culture of this truly American, urban folk dance form with you. It is important for us to let you know that this dance style started in the African-American ballrooms of Harlem, New York in the late 1920s/early 1930s. This dance has a gritty earthiness that is incredibly empowering, beautiful, and joyful. We can't wait for you to experience this conversation of dance with us. Attire is anything from casual to dressy. The best shoes to wear are comfortable and will allow you to pivot and turn easily. We make learning to partner dance easy and enjoyable. Please join us the second Friday of every month at the Lakewood Masonic Temple and the last Saturday of every month at the Slovenian Workmen's Home. Please see www.GetHepSwing.com for the most up to date information on dances, bands playing at the dances, classes, private lessons, school programs, performances and special topic workshops. For more info, please email Valerie Salstrom; the owner of Get Hep Swing, at info(a)gethepswing.com

AKRON, OH -What has ghosts, surprises, criminal tools, nurses, and a swan driving a golf cart? Weathervane's annual 8x10 TheatreFest of course! The 7th annual celebration of 10-minute plays received 142 submissions from all over the United States and six countries including Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. The final eight scripts for the 2017 8x10 TheatreFest have been selected to be performed on the Weathervane stage July 13-16.

"This this year's plays are incredibly eclectic. This festival tells stories that will intrigue, inspire and entertain." One twist in Weathervane's contest is the use of a special prop, which must be featured in each of the entries. This year's prop was a deck of Tarot cards. The prop is picked by the previous year's audience. All eight finalist plays will be presented at each of the festival's four performances: Thursday, July 13, at 7:30 p.m., Friday, July 14, at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, July 15 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, July 16 at 2:30 pm. Audiences will vote to select the first, second and third place winners of the festival. They also will have the opportunity to help select the 2018 festival's inspirational prop! Tickets are on sale now, and can be purchased by calling the box office at 330-836-2626 or going to www.weathervaneplayhouse.com<http://www.weathervaneplayhouse.com> The Sunday matinee will be followed by a reception and the announcement of the winners.
