Flat Stanley is going to try and squeeze in three sets of music into our regular Wednesday night dance!!!  That's right, THREE sets of musical goodness.

To do this, they are going to start a little bit earlier than normal.  Flat Stanley will start playing at 7:30!  Come early, come with friends, and bring your dancing shoes.

The beginner lesson will still start at 7pm but will be a bit faster than normal.  Don't worry though, Jen and I will hang out at the back and answer any questions and work with you (and any friends you bring) at the beginning of the dance. 

Those of you in the Solo Charleston series class, show up at 7pm and we will work something out with you.

Don't forget, we have our live band prices going Wednesday night.  $6 students and $8 for everyone else.

ELLA’s Weekly Dance WITH FLAT STANLEY @ Agate Hall

  7:30pm: Dance with LIVE Band Flat (http://www.myspace.com/flatstanleyeugene)

The Blue Skies Big Band, with the fabulous Jewel Tones, play their annual
Veteran's Day dance/concert at the Oregon Air and Space Museum, November 8 from
2:00-4:00 p.m., this year A Tribute To Glenn Miller, whose plane disappeared
over the English Channel December 15, 1944.

             The show features special guest Bill Williams, Miller's cook, the
last person on the ground to see Miller alive. Williams handed Miller coffee for
the trip, wished him well, and never saw Miller again.

             Featured in the show will be many of Miller's hits, including A
String of Pearls, In the Mood, American Patrol, Chattanooga Choo Choo, Tuxedo
Junction, Elmer's Tune, and Little Brown Jug.

             Tickets are only $8.00, which includes light refreshments, raffles
and door prizes. The event is a fundraiser for the Air and Space Museum, which
is located at 90377 Boeing Drive at the Eugene Airport.

             Blue Skies has made a name for themselves throughout the Northwest
as one of the premier dance bands recalling the great sounds of the `20s, `30s
and `40s. The Jewel Tones are tight vocal trio with a sound reminiscent of the
Andrews Sisters, The McGuire Sisters and the Boswell Sisters.

             So lace up your dancing shoes, or just come out to enjoy the music
at the Oregon Air and Space Museum, November 8 from 2:00-4:00 p.m.

             For further information call the Museum at 461-1101.

San Diego Fusion Exchange (SDFX)
January 8-10, 2010
http://www.sandiegofusionexchange.com

*What is FUSION?*

Tired of hearing all of the "no" in dance? Start saying YES with fusion!

Fusion is the combination of dances in such a way that allows dancers to use all
the techniques, connections, and movements of many dances (in particular swing
and blues, or blues and tango, or west coast and blues). This is a constant
communication from lead to follow (and vice versa) that uses the dancers'
knowledge of more than one dance to flow from one dance to another within a
song/dance. Fusion is imagination in motion.

*Join us for the San Diego Fusion Exchange!*

3 Days of Classes! 3 Nights of Dancing! Amazing instructor lineup! Tons of DJs!
Live Music! Meals included! ...and a LIVE BAND on Saturday night!

For our 3rd year, we're giving you more of what you loved, all in two GORGEOUS
venues: 30 minute breaks between classes, free coffee all day and all night
long, your favorite instructors, great DJs, and uninterrupted social dancing!
Experience the passion of dancing by using the combination of all your dance
knowledge (whether it be blues, west coast, slow lindy, soul, argentine tango,
or any other dance) so that you can best create your own style to fit the music.

To make your stay easier, we've arranged a shuttle service between the main
venue and the late night venue that will take you back to the hotel. We've also
arranged a super special super low $45 rate with the hotel (Jan 1 - 13) so you
can walk to the venues in the beautiful California sun.

And wait, there's more: If you live on the West Coast and you'd like to start
the party as you travel. We've also arranged a party bus starting in Seattle and
picking up in Portland and San Francisco. Contact Kayce Spear (travel
coordinator) by November 1st.

*Passes are going fast!*

Current ticket supplies:
14 ALL ACCESS PASSES for Leads at $175 Regular/$160 Students and
7 ALL ACCESS PASSES for Follows at $190 Regular/$175 Students.
2 DANCE ONLY PASSES at $65 Regular/$65 Students

An all-access pass is a tremendous bargain and includes 3 full days of classes
with dancing in-between, 3 nights of dancing from 9 PM - 5 AM, breakfast, lunch,
and a late night snack.

*Extra Activities -- Arrive Early, Stay Late -- Disneyland!*

San Diego is sunny and mild, most other places places are cold and wet. Why not
give yourself the best dance vacation ever? Start off with Swingin' the New Year
in San Diego then stick around for dancing every night, possibly a rock-climbing
trip on Wednesday, Disneyland on Thursday (transportation included), and a live
band (CJ Hutchinson Band) just for the fusionistas at Ciao Bella on Thursday
night (only $8 ). Rock out with the Fusion Exchange from Friday through Sunday.
Then enjoy more great dancing at a special alternative Milonga just for us.

Start your year off RIGHT!

as plenty of room for dancing on their hardwood floors. I've had the
pleasure of hearing some of their new tracks off of their new CD and
it really captures the Stolen Sweets ability to add new life to old
tunes as well as make new songs in the classic style of jazz. We are
very lucky to have them in Portland.

This from the Stolen Sweets:

The Sweets are SO thrilled to be releasing our "new baby" at long
last! "Sleepytime in Chinatown" will see the light of day at the
historic Wonder Ballroom THIS Saturday! Opening the show will be our
bery own Pete Krebs Trio! We're also joined by the talented likes of
swingers Russell Bruner and Sugar Kane from Swing Time PDX, as well as
the finest burlesque peelers this side o' the Mississip', Charlotte
Treuse and Itty Bitty Bang Bang! Let's not forget the bevy of talented
guest musicians who'll also be joining us! The Wonder will be filled
with smokin' hot jazz, sweet harmony, graceful swingers and the
hottest ladies this town has to offer. Come help us celebrate!

And we added more!

Marilyn Keller, one of my favorite local vocalists, will be singing LIVE with the Bridgetown Sextet this Sunday, August 30th at the Scottish Rite...part of Summer Swing Weekend!!! She performs often with the Black Swan Classic Jazz Band, as well as many other groups!




Marilyn brings a special magic to the stage with her charming presence and flawless vocal stylings. Her musical roots are diverse. She joined Black Swan in 1997, quckly establishing a loyal following in the Dixieland and Ragtime scene. She has also remained active in a wide variety of other performance ensembles and styles: The Don Latarski Group, Darrell Grant, Thara Memory, Tall Jazz, Tom Grant, Michael Allen Harrison, Disciples in Song, and the Augustana Jazz Quartet to name a few.

Marilyn's formative jazz training was as a member of the Mt. Hood Community College Vocal Jazz Ensemble and as the vocalist fronting the award-winning MHCC Jazz Lab Band. She is featured at the Jazz Worship Service at Augustana Lutheran Church every Sunday and can be seen frequently at restaurants, clubs, festivals and holiday events throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Marilyn's versatility extends to the recording studio and she has contributed her talents to various original CD's, albums, demos and commercials.
Her current discography includes:

* Marilyn's solo release is "At Last" (available at www.sachikurachi.com)
* How Many Ways with Don Latarski and Chris Stevens
* How 'Bout Now and Once in a Blue Moon with Tall Jazz (available at www.talljazz.com)
* Promise with Jeff Ibach & Promise
* Deep Play, Rue II and Live from Eden Hall with Don Latarski and Rue de Blues (available at www.donlatarski.com)
* My Gratitude with the Disciples in Song

    Fans,

    Your favorite big band, Blue Skies with the fabulous Jewel Tones,
is playing a dance/concert this Sunday, August 9, from 2:00-4:00 p.m.
at the Eugene Hilton! It's air-conditioned and as always parking is
free. So make plans to lace up your dancing shoes and come on down to
the Hilton this Sunday to dance and sway to the great big band sounds
you've come to expect from Blue Skies!
    I've been out of town and was unable to get notices on time to the
newspapers about this performance, so we'd greatly appreciate it if
you all could help spread the word. See you Sunday.
    Thanks!

    Jonathan
