"The Annex" Monthly
Schedule
1st Fri: "California Mix" Two-Step
with Dee Soars.
2nd Fri: TBA, possibly Blues Night.
3rd Fri: "180+", Fast Music! Balboa, Charleston,
Lindy, and more. With Steve Drzewiczewski and Mary Timmons.
4th Fri: West Coast Swing with Paolo Piselli.

This Friday we have renowned artist Toni
Lynn Washington in the house, plus a Lindy lesson with
dance team "Step Step Triple Step, headed up my Mike
Jonas. There will be lots of TA's (teaching assistants),
so don't miss this lesson. Join us for another fun night
of dancing, socializing, music, and drinks!

More Highlights:
- Doors open at 7:30, dancing until 1am
- FULL BAR (valid 21+ ID to drink)
- Ample free lot-parking
- Great dance floor, fabulous sound, and superb ambiance
in the "Swing City Ballroom"
Appeal to our Patrons: Please support
the bar! As Swing dancers we all know, we're
not a "drinking crowd", but the host venue really
does depend on beverage sales to keep the rent affordable.
We are privileged to have this nice hall, so if you have
the means, please try to patronize the bar with a modest
amount of about $5 in food & beverage purchases. The
hall is run by volunteers and 100% of the bar's profit
goes to support the church's expenses in having us there.
What people are saying:
"It was one of the best swing dances
I have attended in well over a year (and I dance several
times a week)."
"Nice people all w/good intentions. From the
person at door to anyone I would ask questions; all have
positive,upbeat(no pun intended) attitudes. And this love
of Swing Dancing is obvious by all assistance kindly offered
and rendered. Five Stars."
