Shifting Gears After 20 years, it is with mixed emotions that we are announcing we will no longer be offering regularly scheduled group classes to the general public. (We will however, continue to be available for privately arranged individual, couple and group classes and for special event presentations etc). I want to take this moment, on behalf of both Sally Senecal and myself, to thank all of you who have supported us over the past 20 years by coming to our events (Swingin' AirForce; Minnie's Moochers; and of course the great Frankie Manning x3), for taking class from us; for helping with our Senior Citizen Swing program , our programs for public school students at Porter School, our Saturday night dances and so much more. You have enriched both our lives with so many blessing. Dance has brought us so much, and we hope the same has been true for all of you as well. Thank you!!

The box of links to your immediate left is just the beginning of what I hope will ultimately be a community effort to help make dance more accessible to everyone. Please stay in touch (lemiller@twcny.rr.com), and let me know what you think. I'd love to hear from
