LAST CALL for advance registrations for Saturday's Lindy Hop workshop! We need at least 10 folks signed up in order to hold class, so if you were planning to just breeze in tomorrow, register now.

Lakeside Avenue is clear and the front parking lot is...passable. 😆 Bear in mind this means more limited parking than usual so budget extra time if you choose to come to class this Thursday.

Today (Friday Jan 16th) is the LAST DAY for advance registration for this Saturday's intermediate-level Balboa Workshops w/Kate Hedin & David Rehm.

We have just a handful of spots left in both workshops, so grab yours now to avoid possible disappointment at the door!

OK folks! We have 20 tickets remaining to sell at the door for all you last minute chaos gremlins out there. 😆

Doors will open at 6:30pm for at-door tickets.
(We will not sell tickets prior to 6:30pm, so don't be that guy)

Planning to take the beginner lesson? It starts AT 7pm.
This means that you need to be here, checked in, and ready to go by 7pm (not just pulling into the parking lot like Speed Racer).
Our studio policy is that we close the beginner lesson to latecomers after 10 minutes, so plan ahead and be on time!

Social dancing starts at 8pm, with cake and shenanigans in the first band break.

Remember! We are at The Dance Space, NOT at RVA Swing!

We'll post again this afternoon with the final total available for purchase at the door (if any).

Today (Friday Dec 12th) is the last full day to purchase advance tickets for Saturday's dance and as of 6:45am we have just 27 left!

I'll be closing the ticket link at 11am on Saturday morning before I leave for errands, rehearsal and setup. Any remaining tickets will be available at the door starting at 6:30pm, but why take a chance?

Y'all! We now have less than 30 tickets remaining for this Saturday's Holiday Dance with Jon Tigert & The Corner Pocket Jazz Band.

While it is possible that we may still have some tickets left over to sell out at the door, we are not reserving any for at-door sales. That means, when it sells out, it sells out. Don't take your chances waiting to pay at the door!

Grab your ticket now!
