Hi Everyone, my name is Brooks. I am from Albany New York. I am coming down to Atlanta to visit Georgia Tech. I figured I should check out the dancing that's going on. So if you know of what's going on Friday March 16th, or Saturday March 17th, please let me know.

Also, one of your Atlanta people just recently moved up to my area - Javier. He was the one who directed me to these forums 8)

I look forward to getting to dance in GA! Also, later on I might be requesting directions or even a ride if that's possible. Thanks everyone!

There's the usual Friday night dance at the Point of View lounge.

ASEDA usually does a dance or two a month, but hasn't announced anything yet for March.

We have dancing on Monday and Weds nights, and about half the weekends. It appears you may hit a sub-optimal weekend for dancing.

There's always contra dance on Friday nights.

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully something will be announced for that weekend. is Point of View dance a swing dance, or is it some sort of ballroom /various mix dance?

POV is a bar/ lounge that has a terrific view if the Atlanta skyline! (Very romantic setting. ) It is a small croud atmosphere (typically) with a live jazz/ swing band and a dance floor. It is best to plan to go with/ or meet up with other dancers (planned). I have enjoied the nights that I have gone! If FernBank is having Martinis and IMax- then people usually go to that first then head over to POV. (Martini's and IMax provides a live jazz band in a most non-dancing croud... however, we dance! It is actually great fun to dance there- you kinda feel like you are putting on a casual show! (*Again, both of these venues typically are best if you have planned to go with other swing dancers in advance.- check the forum.... if April posts it in the dancing opportunities for the week/ or if the band is Camilla Sanders or Kingsized- then likely dancers will go.) Hope it all works out for ya!

Sounds great! Thanks for the info, I hope something happens that weekend, cause I really wanna go dancing.

Javier moved???

Love dancing with him... He will have to come back for a visit sometime.

Javi got himself a job in CT...I do believe he will be here for ATLX, though. Yay!

that's good to know he will be back. I have been gone for 6 months out of the country and had no clue he was gone! I'm so sad... he's a great guy and a wonderful dancer.

Yeah Javier is up in CT. He told me he's definitely going to be at ATLX, so he'll be back 8)

Hi everyone. I'll be moving down to Atlanta this coming weekend! I'll be out to Hot Jam Monday the 13th too! I look forward to dancing with everyone. If you happen to recognize me, it would really be nice to come say hi, since I won't know anyone in town.

Cya Monday!

Sweet, you picked a great dance to come out to!!!! (live music!)

Be sure to introduce yourself around. See you soon!

I was wondering, could I bum a ride from anyone to Hot Jam this Monday? I'm gonna be living on the Georgia Tech campus, so if you happen to drive through that way, or you are a Georgia Tech student yourself, it would be a big help for me. I dunno if anyone else is gonna check this, but it's worth a shot!

Either way, I'm gonna be rocking a ridiculous brown/denim jacket. It should stand out a decent amount, so hopefully I will be easily recognized! Woo! I haven't danced in like 2 days! Ahh! Need to dance!

(I think I'm just tired [not crazy]. Spent 11 hours driving to Atlanta today. 700 miles is a long drive!)

I'll be going from Tech, send me a pm with some contact info if you'd like to ride with me.
