Shawn Hershey and Amanda Gruhl from New School Swing will be leading a guided practice session – a practica – from 7:30 to 8:30PM.   Shawn and Amanda will make sure they work one on one with everyone who attends.  Most if not all of the advanced dancers and instructors have improved their own dancing by taking private lessons and working one on one with more experienced dancers. Think of a guided practice as a cheap short private lesson; an opportunity to work on whatever you want with Shawn and Amanda.

We’ll follow the lesson up with a practice session from 8:30 to 11pm.

Lesson: 7:30pm-8:30pm
Practice Session: 8:30-11pm
Admission: $5 practica/lesson, $3 practice session

Boston Swing Central is tickled with the theme for tonight’s dance…”The Chicks Will Have Their Say and the Guys Will Have to Pay.”  Yes, it’s our own twist on a Ladie’s Night.  Tonight we’ll feature 6 lovely and talented DJs:  Cara Ball, Julie Brown, Megan Damon, Tina Descourcy, Julie Irish and Nicole Zuckerman all spinning whatever they damn well please, and you’re going to love it!  

We’ll also have some fun other surprises for the other ladies in the room starting with the gents picking up some of their admission, as tonight, and tonight only we’re changing the pricing to $11 for guys, and $9 for gals.  That’s right gentlemen, you’re going to have to pony up, but think of all the happy ladies who will be here looking for someone to dance with.   Then again, if you don’t show up, they might just learn how to lead and thus render males obsolete.

Lesson: 8-9pm
Dancing: 9pm to 12:30 AM

Admission: $11 for Gents ($9 student and senior discount), $9 for Ladies ($7 for students and seniors)
