Hi Dancers,
Thought I'd add a reminder about the fundraiser tonight at Tio's. This is the project lovingly created by Johnny G. D'Artenay and a host of other talented musicians.
Call the club for futher details....I think it's $10 to get in, and the first band is Big Rig Deluxe, followed by a bunch of other cool bands.

It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that Willie Desatoff passed away on Saturday, October 1st at the age of 82.
He inspired us greatly as well as thousands the world over.
We were very glad we had the chance to bring him to San Diego so that many of you could meet him and share in his joy of the Balboa.
His legend lives on in all of us continuing to teach and dance the Balboa with "finesse, finesse, finesse"

"Jazz is the teacher, Funk is the preacher." -- James "Blood" Ulmer (left)
Melissa and I are excited to bring to you our first-ever SWING-TO-FUNK-MUSIC workshop this Sun. Oct. 2nd at the Kava Lounge. Why swing dance to funk music? Because funk music is fun and expressive, and it is the direct descendant of jazz/blues music in America. In fact, funk music combines aspects of a wide range of black musical traditions: the blues, R&B, soul, progressive jazz, African percussion, and psychedelic rock. So if we can swing dance to the blues, we can swing dance to da funk.
Our 90-min. workshop (7:00-8:30p) will be an introduction to how to adapt your swing dancing to better fit funk music. The cost: only $10 (includes admission to the Kava dance). Here are some of the topics we'll address:
1) How funk music is structured similarly (polyrhythmic...
