Summertime is here!
Hello Swing Dancing Enthusiasts!
The last few months have been an amazing success! The ‘A’ Train has seen over 1,250 people through its doors in the first 6 months. Cabaret was huge success and the community is thriving!
Our last set of classes until September will be coming to a close this week. But, have no fear, The ‘A’ Train will continue to run during the summer every Friday! I will be training in Sweden at the Herräng Dance Camp for most of August, so I leave you in the amazing hands of Nicole Tomes. I will be back at the end of August with more fun and inspiring moves from the camp.
Enjoy the summer and come out dancing every Friday at the Mount Pleasant Community Hall!
Cheers,
Matthew Isenor
The Cabaret was a huge success!
Thank you to everybody who made The Cabaret Fundraiser such a huge success! We had over 120 people through the door to watch all the fabulous performers and dance the night away! We are still calculating how much we raised. These funds will be used by Swing Dance Calgary to promote swing dancing in Calgary and to put on larger events. A special thanks to the organizers, namely Nicole Tomes, Joanna Pesta, Heather Imorde and Dana Codding.
Cheers,
Matthew Isenor
