Hello Swing Dancing Enthusiasts!

We have a lot of great events coming up, but first I will start with a recap of RCMA 2010 in Vancouver that happened the other weekend. In one word, AWESOME! Another great event put on by Lucy Falkner and Rhythm City Productions, congrats on such a success. All the classes were top notch and I know the Calgary crew learned a lot from Daniel, Asa, Michael and Casey. I thoroughly enjoyed learning from the Swedes and I am even considering heading to Sweden during the summer for the 5 week long Herrang Dance Camp. The competitions were very well done and the competitors gave it their all! It was great to get to hang out with old friends and make new ones, don’t worry if you missed this one, as Lucy will be putting on RCMA 2010.2 in September. There will be 6 instructors, two of which have been confirmed, the amazing Skye Humphries and Frida Segerdahl!

Tonight The ‘A’ Train will be raising funds for the Haiti Relief Fund by donating a portion of each door sale to the Canadian Red Cross. I encourage you to bring out your friends and family, as the more people we have, the greater our donation will be. There will also be a donation jar that will go directly to the Fund. If you have any questions please talk to me at the dance tonight. We are aiming to raise $500, which will be matched by the Canadian Government, dollar for dollar!

Lastly, I have finally struggled and fought with getting registration up and running for the Mini Workshop with Rachael Ries that is coming up on February 20th! There will be more details about the classes and levels on the main page of the site, but you can Book Now!

Cheers,
Matthew Isenor
