Anyone who is interested in moving with the music, learn
more about lead-follow connection or just to learn to play with music
different than the normal swing music.

After the workshop, there will be a lesson in Beginning/Intermediate
East Coast Swing from 8 - 9 PM followed by dancing to DJed music until
midnight.

What's the cost for the workshop and dance?
Workshop including the dance -$9(members)/$12 (non-members)
Swing lesson with the dance- $4(members)/$7(non-members)

Where: Sammons Center of Arts (3630, Harry Hines Blvd, Dallas, Tx 75219)

Subject: Lots of SDFX Info! Deadlines, Contests, FX 2011 and More!

sandiego.fusion.exchange@...

San Diego Fusion Exchange is coming up fast! December 15th is the last day to pay for your registration by check, order a t-shirt, take advantage of the lead referral credit, or be part of the special class with Amanda and Shawn (more on both of these below).

Lead referral credits:

Follow registration is SOLD OUT (for now), and the waiting list is growing. However, we're a little short on leads, so we've decided on a cool promotion to bring some more leads out:

For every person that refers a lead (and that lead registers, pays, and put the referrer's name in the box), the referrer will get one of the following nifty payments (referrer's choice):
(a) $5 off per lead referred and paid -- to be received this year during or before SDFX (maximum $50 refund) OR
(b) $20 credit per lead referred and paid -- to be used as a credit for FX 2011 (maximum $60 credit)

For follows who haven't registered yet:

We are all out of follow passes, but if you register for a Dance Only
pass by December 1st, we can still get you on the list for housing and
carpools. We're happy to put you on the Follow waitlist (it's only a
couple people right now), and if we get a cancellation, we'll contact
you so you can upgrade to the full weekend. If you're All Access Pass or bust, then the waiting list will work for that too. To get on it, email sandiego.fusion.exchange@ gmail.com with "Follows Wait List" in the subject and give us your full name and city. If you register with a lead that will be participating in classes, you can skip the waiting line and register now.

Win a special class with Amanda Gruhl and Shawn Hershey!

Amanda and Shawn are going to give an exclusive class to the school or region that represents hardest at SDFX. We'll be judging based on total registrations, as well as lead/follow ratios. For example: if the Claremonts have 20 people, but 18 are follows, yet Cal Poly has 12 and it's 6 leads, 6 follows, then Cal Poly wins. If Los Angeles has 50 people, but it's 30 follows, 20 leads, but Houston has 45 and it's 23 follows, 22 leads, then Houston wins. The cutoff for being counted toward your region is December 15th, though, so get those registrations in!

January 1st is our final registration deadline.

If you want to save money on the door prices (and make sure there's a spot waiting for you), we need your registration. In addition, everyone registered by the 1st will be entered in a drawing to win passes to these awesome 2010 events:

(1) Austin Blues Party ~ Austin, TX ~ July 2-4, 2010

We'll also be selling a very limited number of tickets during SDFX, as well as giving priority registration to past fusion exchange attendees.

In case you forgot...

We have nearly 300 fusion songs from past and future FX DJ's available to stream free at http://www.playlist.com/fusionexchange. If you want to add a little fusion into your weekly blues dance, it's a great place for inspiration.

Thanks everyone!

More reasons why you should come to Austin for Lone Star on January 15-17th.

Hey Dallas and Fort Worth!

Lone Star is quickly becoming one of the top events in the country... and there are a lot lot lot of great dancers coming in town (see below and youtube any of the names if you don't know them!). I promise it's worth coming!

Q: This is a competition... why would I want to come if I don't want to compete?
A: Well the main reason is because the dancing will be hot. The nights have some competitions, but there will be lots of time to dance... and after a competition, most everyone is pumped up and inspired, so the dancing is extra good. Plus, there are two fantastic bands along with some top notch DJs. Oh, and workshops during the days with some of the top instructors in the world...!!!

Q: What if I'm a newer dancer - am I out of my league?
A: No! Dancing all night is for everyone. Workshops during the days are for everyone. And we also have some special contests just for you: a newcomer J&J for people who haven't really competed before, and an open strictly for you and a partner.

Check out the laundry list of people that will be here. You should be here too. :)

Subject: Important SDFX Deadline: December 1!

sandiego.fusion.exchange@...

Housing/Transportation Deadline:

If you want help finding housing or transportation to the event, register by this Tuesday, December 1st. The exchange is coming up quickly, and early registration will give you the best chances for getting placed in houses, rooms, or carpools. Also, nearly all Volunteer slots are full, so you can no longer rely on getting hours for any compensation, especially after December 1.

We Need Leads!

Follow registration is SOLD OUT (for now), and the waiting list is growing. However, we're a little short on leads, so we've decided on a cool promotion to bring some more leads out:

For every person that refers a lead (and that lead registers, pays, and put the referrer's name in the box), the referrer will get one of the following nifty payments (referrer's choice):
(a) $5 off per lead referred and paid -- to be received this year during or before SDFX (maximum $50 refund) OR
(b) $20 credit per lead referred and paid -- to be used as a credit for FX 2011 (maximum $60 credit).

To get this deal, invite your leading friends to register by December 15!

For follows who haven't registered yet:
We are all out of follow passes, but if you register for a Dance Only pass by December 1st, we can still get you on the list for housing and carpools. We're happy to put you on the Follow waitlist (it's only a couple people right now), and if we get a cancellation, we'll contact you so you can upgrade to the full weekend. If you're All Access Pass or bust, then the waiting list will work for that too.

Ticket Supplies:
21 All Access Passes for Leads at $190 Regular/$175 Students.

0 All Access Passes for Follows at $190 Regular/$175 Students.

30 Dance Only Passes at $75 Regular/$70 Students

Hey y'all,

This year we have some new additions we've been working on.� Here is your sneak peek:

Small's Paradise.� You should know by now that Lone Star is a social party event weekend first and foremost.� Well, this year's evenings and late nights will be the perfect after party to a day filled with workshops, competitions, and dancing.� Think house party and bar, with some food and dancing, maybe a few games and some lounging.� Maybe we�ll tell you more... maybe we won't... either way, it's going to rock.�

Newest Contest.� This year we will crown two overall champions for our huge Jack & Jill contest.� This is definitely going to be a fun great show and a great culmination to the event.� (By the way, contests are only $5!)�

Also, a reminder that the Lazy Bird rate of $99 is still available through Dec 2nd.� Register now�yes�right now before you forget and before you kick yourself when the price goes up!� Where else can you get a full weekend of workshops, competitions, and dancing for under a hundred bucks?�

See you in January,

--Tena, Scott, and the Lone Star Crew

The Fun Style Swing dance competition has 10 West Coast Swing CONTESTANT ENTRIES
from Alamo West Coast Swing Club and One Balboa entry from Austin.
www.sacrazycats.com
I am challenging all the lindy, shag, swing and balboa dancers of San Antonio
and Austin to match these 10 Contestant Entries from Alamo West Coast Swing
dance club, a brand new club.  All the members entered the competition last
night!  Secondly, and even more important, I challenge you all to have friends
and family attend to match the 23 GENERAL ENTRIES the Alamo West Coast Swing
Club  purchased. Help meet this challenge before the deadline of November 28.
If you are sending a check, just notify me of you competition or general entry
so I can count it. The "Dance for The Kids" fundraiser may be canceled if we are
not able to sell 100 tickets by the 28th.   Unfortunately, this means the dance
community won't be able to help the children of ChildSafe by raising needed
funds as we had hoped. So please show your support by purchasing your ticket
online or thru the mail this week. www.sacrazycats.com
Thirsty Horse Saloon is able to accommodate up to 700 people, so let's pack the
house of this generous facility who is opening their doors for our Swing Dance
for the Kids as they are opening their doors on a closed business day.
Come dance and come show your support. The proceeds from this event benefit
ChildSafe and the sexually abused children of Bexar County. Remember, ChildSafe
helps over 1,700 kids annually�that is more than 6 children per work day.
During a time of year when we are all expressing our thanks for all of the
friends, family and blessings we have; please take a moment to think about those
kids who are spending this Holiday Season trying to cope and heal from the most
devastating experience of their lifetimes.  During a time when these kids should
be enjoying their childhood, they are trying to figure out how to reclaim it. 
Together, we can help restore the dignity, trust and hope in children
traumatized by sexual abuse by dancing in support of ChildSafe on December 6th.
Thank you in advance for your support.
HAVE A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING
PS: In case of cancellation all moneys will be refunded.
       Thank you for forwarding to dancer, friends, family, co-workers.

This week at Blues�n the Night I will be sharing the DJ table with none other than DJ Tina Davis. Tina is a very popular DJ on the national blues and lindyhop DJ circuit and she will be helping me throw down some fine tunes for everyone.

As usual, Jerry and Kathy will be giving a basic blues dance lesson from 8-9. Then the fun begins as Jonathan and Jerry play music til midnight.

Remember, you can no longer park across the street in the little lot in front nor in the Baylor Lots. You have to park on the street or in the gravel lot two blocks west on Elm on your left. Sons is trying to work out to renew the agreement with Baylor, but for now we can not park there.

Lesson 8-9 Dancing from 9 - 12, $5.

Cash Only Bar! (they do have an ATM )

Sons of Hermann is located at 3414 Elm Street at the corner of Elm and Exposition

Hope to see you out!

Online Now

The ACME workshop “WOW Factor Swing Outs” includes great ideas for improving your Swing out as well as ways to put your special Swing Out variations into a Jam Circle. We all would love for more Jam circles to break out on the social floor but it seems folks don’t think they’ve got what it takes to get out there. Well, that’s what this workshop is all about. You don’t have to do aerials to go into a jam circle…. Pull off some kick’n Swing outs and you’ll do great out there. In this 2 hour workshop, we will teach moves and techniques that will have you “itch’n” to get into that Jam Circle! Special Note: Those interested in auditioning for ACME Swing Company are strongly encouraged to attend. Included in auditions this year is a segment on Jam Circles. This workshop is a great way to get ideas and ask questions and perfect your mini Jam circle routine

Just in case that's not enough, how about our famed Swing on a String dance. Opening up the festivities is an hour
of beginning/Intermediate swing dancing for those of you who are coming for the first time and even a little something

for you old timers. Then at 9 we're blasting some great music by our local DJ's for you

to strut your stuff and perhaps even cut a little rug.

How's that for a little fun in the evening. So let us recap.

6-8 ACME swing workshop
8-9 lesson
9-midnight – dance till you can't dance any more.

Whats the cost?
Workshop including the dance -$9(members)/$12 (non-members)
