Swing Dance with Portland Swing Project

Many Woodfords Club renters become members of the Club family. The Portland Camera Club is one of the longest and best known (see separate article), and the Portland Swing Project is one of the newest. Club members were already part of the great crowd dancing last week along with the dynamic teacher Gillian Davis.

Portland Swing Project offers swing dance (also known as 'Lindy Hop') classes at the Club on Tuesday nights. It has swing dances with live music on the first Thursdays of the month.

Gillian is offering Woodfords Club members a special $10 off for their first 7-week class registration. (Enter coupon code WOODFORDS at checkout.) It looks like a great night out!

 Beginners are always welcome and you don't need a partner. Gillian teaches footwork and partner connection step-by-step, and we promise to make it fun! The classes run every 7 weeks, each class builds on the next, and all are welcome to join on the first class of each session with advanced preregistration. The next 7-week beginning-level class begins Tuesday October 21st, and dates, details, and registration are at:  https://www.portlandswingproject.com/weekly-classes

For details for the first Thursday of the month swing dances with live music, look for  "Thursday Night Stomp" on the Portland Swing Project web site

Gillian always teaches a beginning-level lesson before each dance from 7:10-7:30pm, followed by music and dancing 7:30-9:30pm. Beginners are always welcome and you don't need to come with a partner. Woodfords Club members can take $5 off the entry fee to Thursday Night Stomp (just let the person at the front door know you're a member). Gillian hopes you'll join the swing dancers!  Several dancers came downstairs to bowl with the bowling league last week.
