Taft Dance

Friday, September 17th, 2010
8:30 pm till Midnight
Intro lesson included from 7:15-8:30 pm
As of this month we're moving to Fridays!;)

Taft Dance moving to Friday Nights: Next month's Taft Dance will be Friday, September 17th, and will be our first one on a Friday night. Ecclesia has been having such success with their Sunday morning services that they're having to expand and offer Saturday evening services. They need first to take care of their congregation so that bumps us to Friday nights. They're actually planning on moving to a larger location in the Spring and since they seem to like us, we're in their plans to take us with them :)
Once that happens we may be moving back to Saturday nights but, you never know, we may fall in love with Friday nights.

PLEASE GIVE ~
Thursday morning, August 5th, Austin and many in the swing/blues scene lost a loved member of their community in the sudden passing of Keith Shapiro. Many were in shock from this, and we all want to help his wife Summer, and his two little daughters, Anna and Ella, in whatever way we can.
Many efforts are being made in Austin and beyond — and here we'll be collecting at each week's Demitasse dance, culminating with September's Taft Dance which will also be a fundraiser for Keith's family to help them in this time of tremendous loss.
Second Cup Swing will start by donating $100 and we hope you will donate what you can. A donation jar will be available at the front table.

The top 10 reasons to attend this month's Second Cup Swing Dance

Reason #10 - The floor at Taft Street Coffee is GREAT for dancing!

Reason #9 - Our fabulous DJs spin awesome tracks -- some of which you may never have thought of as swing-dance songs. :)

Reason #8 - You never know who you're going to meet. We've already had one marriage proposal take place there, between two people who met at a dance!

Reason #7 - Dance with and watch some of Houston's great dancers, who come out every month.

Reason #6 - If you're just learning, the Second Cup Swing Dance is a wonderful, easy place to learn how to dance -- and the people who come out are friendly and will be happy to dance with you! :D

Reason #5 - The folks at Taft have Wi-fi and the best Free Trade Coffee in Town!

Reason #4 - If you need a breather during the night, you can step into the coffee house to sag on the sofa and chat with a neighbor till you catch your breath.

Reason #3 - Hank and Maricarmen's intro lesson is fun! Come out and see what the new metaphor-of-the-month will be. ;)

Reason #2 - It's close to town, and a SUPER cheap thing to do on a Saturday night.

And the number 1 reason to attend this month's Second Cup Swing Dance!! - How cool will it be when your friends and colleagues ask you on Monday what you did over the weekend, and you tell them you learned how to swing dance?!
