LOCATION TO BE DETERMINED (Possibly the JEFFERSON MEMORIAL)–
WATCH THIS SPACE.
Calling all dancers! We’re shooting footage for two promotional videos, comprised of the Gottaswing beginner class routine, social dancing (including aerials and special tricks if you got ‘em), and the Shim Sham. BYOP—bring your own partner (except, of course, for the Shim Sham.). Wear something cute! Our videographer is the incredible Bahraa Hijazi, who will create our final exciting product. We can’t wait to show the world how much fun we have dancing here in the Washington, DC-metro area!
At the beginning of September, we submitted a permit application to dance on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial; they eventually let us know there was a conflict due to the World Culture Festival and they suggested we use the Jefferson Memorial. Cool! we said, and submitted a new application. We’re still waiting for confirmation, but in the meantime you can start making travel plans (visit NPS). (All this, of course, is provided we’re not preempted due to that pesky old looming government shutdown.)
