The entertainment portion of the evening will begin with a performance/demonstration by members of the award-winning UI Swing Dance Club. Then, the “professional” dancers will offer group instruction to any of our staff members who want to learn some of the steps they have just seen. This will be your chance to learn the dips, the twirls, and just “Get Your Swing On”! The dancers specialize in East Coast Swing, the Lindy Hop, and Charleston. After the lesson portion is over around 9 or 9:30, the dance floor will be opened up for general dancing for the remainder of the evening – until approximately 11:00 PM.
Music and special effects lighting will be provided by Hot Flashes Sound and Light Show.
It promises to be a fun evening.
You must RSVP to Sherry Brown TODAY, Friday, February 8 if you and an adult guest plan to attend for the meal. Our payment to the IMU depends upon how many people attend for the meal, so please don’t respond “yes” if you don’t plan to be there for the buffet dinner.
