Dear BSC Dancers,
There is a little light at the end of the tunnel. But we’re likely not re-opening anytime this summer, but we are looking at other events, industries and will likely open after they have been open without incidents. In the meantime, we have some outdoor events gatherings this summer. We are hosting the Roaring Twenties Lawn Party at Castle Hill on the Crane Estate this August 7-8th, click on the link to get your tickets! We hope to see you there. Click on the right hand side of this to add your name to our email list, that way you can keep up-to-date to everything. We will also be celebrating Juneteenth, Freedom Day and on July 3rd we’ve got something brewing with Baby Soda. Email info@bostonswingcentral.org for that information.
In the meantime, please please, continue to educate yourself on racial injustice, systemic racism and the Lindy Hop and it’s place in history as well as is its origins as an African American dance. We recommend starting with this page from Black Lives Matter, and have linked some additional resources below.
Immediate and lasting change requires every single one of us taking conscious steps to demand accountability. Listen. Educate. Donate. Speak. Act. Join us in calling out racism and injustice and in taking steps towards a more equitable future for our Boston community and our wider world.
