Our goal is to build COMMUNITY PARTNERS...
So, we try not to compete on Saturday Nights. Instead
we’d like to schedule around other swing events
and build the community by promoting swing by promoting
each others events. So, if you know of another Lindy
Dance in SF or Bay Area we'll try to reschedule and
promote their event instead. Just tell them to give
us lot's of notice! Who
are Community Partners? You are... We can add
your link to our site and promote your event. Just tell
us about it.
