No swing dance Wednesday July 4

Last night, I mentioned the possiblity of a MIT Lindy Hop
Society dance next Wednesday, July 4. Unfortunately I could
not reserve a room (MIT rooms get locked up for Independence
Day), so there will be no dance.

However, here are some people organizing outdoor fusion
dancing on the 4th, in a location yet to be decided on Mem
Drive:

weather is bad, we will be in 36-112.) The weather forecast

chilly?), high humidity, and 4% chance of rain. The surface
is concrete, so don't bring your nice dancing shoes.

* Wednesday, June 6, Lesson 7:30 Dancing 9-11:30 p.m.
* Outside, in front of Student Center
http://whereis.mit.edu/?go=W20
* Free, Beginners welcome, No partner necessary
* DJs Phalgun Lolur and Donald Coverdale

At 7:30, Ken will teach a beginner swing lesson. (If we are
