From London, Gonsworth Bingles
Hallo-Hallo, what, what?
Often a chap will come to me and say "Gonsy, I can't come to Jam Cellar tonight. Too hot, you see. My clothes are still drying out from last week." And I say to them "Vasquez", assuming their name is Vasquez, "I understand. But if there's one night you don't want to miss, it's Aug. 12."
Why, you may be asking? I'll tell you. Tonight's Featured A. is the One Minute Showcase, and I tell you, it's a topper. But that's not all. You see, DJ Jerry Almonte will be giving us ample portions of "the food of love," as the fellow once said. Shakespeare, I think. Or perhaps some motion picture I saw. Anyway, he'll be playing "hot" music all night long, which I imagine he means figuratively. Not quite sure, though, might want to check on that.
Anyway, look to the bulletin ahead for the rest of your news. Pip-pip!

The Pillars of Looking Fancy (Week 2 of 4)!
What makes a good looking dancer? Natural movement, lines, pulse, mechanics, arms, body positions, move choices, relaxation, flow, dynamic, performance technique, partnership connection, or what? This series will attack these elements of attractive-looking dancing, examining them through new moves and exercises geared to bring out these aspects in your own dancing. Just because you learned to look fancy from Biggie Shorty from the cinematic masterpiece "Pootie Tang", doesn't mean you can't learn a thing or two. For Int/Adv lindy hoppers. Sign up at the door.
