ASEDA: Atlanta's Swing Dance Community

Swingin' from the Heart has been invited back to appear at the annual Adopt A Grandparent fundraiser Saturday, July 17, 2010 .

We have been there for the last several years, and have a special connection because Peter Zellner, one of our own, is an active volunteer with that organization. You can read more about this great organization here: http://www.adoptagrandparent.org/ .

This event is always a lot of fun, and SFTH's always a big hit. As with almost all SFTH events, all dancers are needed, no matter what level you are or whether you know any choreography. If we have some folks (could be one or more couples) who know some choreography they want to perform, or have some other performance they'd like to do, that will be great. We generally get about 20 minutes on the agenda, and in that time we have a participatory part like teaching a basic swing lesson or something else like a social Big Apple, and a "performance" aspect which might be a choreographed routine, a jam, or just a bunch of us social dancing.

Please let me know if you're interested so I know if we've got a critical mass and can let the event organizers know to put us on the program.

Thank you,
Holly Gaskins & Mey Saied

Hi guys,
Happy Monday! I have to let the organizer of the event know if we are going to be able to make it out on Saturday. As of now I only have 6 people confirmed, only 2 leads. So I'm letting the organizer know that we won't be able to make the event. Thanks to everyone who was planning on going and I will keep everyone posted on any upcoming events!

Cheers,
Holly & Mey
