Tuxedo Junction Wrap-up

Wow! There is a reason we keep coming back to Rick Jobe and Tuxedo Junction!! They put on a great show and had everyone up and dancing. Bringing a variety of tempos there was something for everyone and the crowd showed some special Lindy-love to all of our February Birthday dancers with an amazing steal jam during the break. The beginners also got a special treat with Huy and Tabitha teaching the Lindy Swing out instead of their usual 6 count swing in the free beginner lesson. In fact, we were so busy dancing our socks off that none of us remembered to take any pictures!

I wish there was some way to express all the levels of awesomeness that went down this weekend but words do it no justice. We had TONS of dancers, both from Huntsville and out, young and old, new and seasoned! The DJs brought out some of the most solid music of the year and the dancers were up to the challenge!

It's Almost Here!
