1. Lindy Bomb The Farmer's Market on 6/27!
2. LIVE MUSIC at Yale Swing & Blues Practicum 6/28
We're planning to do our shopping at the CitySeed Farmer's Market in Wooster Square, aaaaand while we're over there who could fault us for putting on a little music, given the (forecasted) nice weather and open air? and of course when the music's playing we kinda have to dance, right?
If you ask me (and this is not necessarily the official opinion of the club, but if it isn't it should be), it's a heck of a lot more fun than the smooth jazz they play at the supermarket. So, BOMBS AWAY 11 AM to 1 PM this Saturday.Contact our very own Rosalind Diaz (rosalind.diaz[AT]yale[DoT]edu for more info.
Thanks to all of you who joined us with the Solomon Douglas Trio last Sunday night during our usual Practicum time slot! We couldn't just let well enough alone after that, so we're going to keep the fun going with the highly talented and devilishly charming Josh Fialkoff of the J Street Band, who we convinced to play piano for us for at this week's Practicum!
Be there: 8-11 PM in the Multipurpose Room in Yale's Afro-American Cultural Center, 211 Park St. (Air-conditioned! come chill!) FREE dancing as always, open to all and sundry. While we'd love it if Josh just played nonstop for three hours, our fabulous DJs will also be on call to mitigate the necessary evil of set breaks with their catchy home-brew blend of swing & blues. Come dance socially, and/or get feedback on your dancing in a relaxed & intimate setting. Yay!
What: YS&B Practicum, a wonderful place to play and practice!
When: Sunday June 28th, 2009, 8-11 p.m.
Who: All dancers, all experiences levels, all ages, no affiliation with Yale necessary at all
How much: FREE!
Where: AfAm House, 211 Park St, New Haven, CT
If you’ve never been to AfAm before, just go to the door of GYPSY and look to your right through that little archway—there it is!
Yale Swing and Blues represents the non-competitive swing and blues dancing community on campus. We provide a space for people to get together and dance in a fun, informal setting. Our regular events include monthly swing dances, weekly blues practica, and trips to local dancing events. We also offer Lindy Hop and Blues lessons every semester, for a nominal fee. Our events are open to undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff, and members of the broader New Haven community.
