The Connecticut Lindy Exchange is coming! What is the Connecticut Lindy Exchange (CTLX)? It's a non-profit organization of Connecticut dancers committed to preserving and promoting Lindy Hop in Connecticut. From July 30th-August 1st dancers from all over the US (and other countries!) will be coming to Connecticut for a weekend of dancing! Music by Gordon Webster, Tin Pan Alley, and great DJs! You can register for the whole weekend for $60 online, or just come to some of the dances and pay for those separately, but please join us in welcoming our out of state friends to Connecticut! Coming soon: a la carte pricing! Pay for Friday, Saturday, and/or Sunday.

For a Lindy Exchange, we open our homes to our out-of-state dancing friends, giving them a place to stay for the weekend. If you can put people up for the weekend, even if it's just floor space, please register as a host for housing at the CTLX web site.

Swing Out New Hampshire 2010 registration is open! 5 days of classes and dancing at a Lindy Hop Dance Camp at Camp Wicosuta, located on beautiful Newfound Lake near Hebron NH.

Activities include a campfire and sing-along, a cabaret where everyone is invited to perform, late night dancing, and music by Peter Davis and Lindy Hop Heaven, Cangelosi Cards, The Gordon Webster Quintet, plus great guest DJs!

From Mark Kapner:

I'm writing to offer all members of Connecticut Swing Dance Society a special Swing Out New Hampshire/Connecticut Swing Dance Society Stimulus Discount of $25 for SONH 2010. CSDS members can take advantage of this discount by mentioning "SONH/CSDS Stimulus Discount" on their registration form in the "tell us anything else you think we should know about your dancing" field or the "How did you hear about Swing Out New Hampshire?" field, and deducting $25 from the normal tuition.

Please let all members of CSDS know about this, and we look forward to seeing you and many Connecticut dancers at SONH in September!
