Subject: Info for Swing Dance in Danvers, Monday, July 30th

Hi - Here's the info for the Dance on July 30th that I mentioned in class. 
It's at the Math Plus math conference, and the organizer would like to have
local dancers there to fill up the dance floor, and provide inspiration for conference attendees.

The more the merrier - if you know of other folks who
might be interested, pass the info along! -Nancy

Monday, July 30
6:30-7:30 - Swing/Lindy Lesson
7:30-10:00 - Dancing and live music
The dance is free!

If you can make it early for the lesson (especially leaders), that would be great.
Join us for an incredible night of live music and dancing with Tom Whitehead's Rites of Swing.
This group is lead by vocalist, guitarist and pianist, Tom Whitehead.
The ensemble also features Michael Arciero on guitar,
Kris Day on upright bass and Don Whitney on drums.
The sound evokes the smooth, acoustic feeling of Django Reinhardt’s gypsy jazz style,
but with a distinctly American flavor of vocal standards from the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s.
Whitehead sings in a mature, improvisory style that is greatly complimented by
Arciero’s dynamic and virtuosic lead guitar playing. Day and Whitney provide a
seamless and effortless rhythmic foundation that swings hard, but is never overbearing.
This group sails along like a Clipper Ship of a bygone era - smooth,
elegant, powerful and a real joy to listen and dance to.
