Next Gen Dance
May 4, 2013

Please join The Next Generation Swing Dance Club at the Allegro Ballroom in Emeryville for our monthly club dance on Saturday, May 4 from 6 PM until late. We look forward to seeing you there.

Our DJ is Glenn Cravalho. The DJ mix is primarily West Coast Swing, but also contains a few songs for other social and swing dances. Our beginning lesson is being offered by Joe Ho from 7 - 8 PM in the back room.

This month we will run Round IV of the "Luck of the Draw" contest series. Couples placing 1st through 5th will qualify for the finals in August. Winners of the finals win tickets to Boogie by the Bay 2013. 

We recommend that you sign-up for the contest by 8:00. At that time, we start working to get an even number of leaders and followers. You may still sign-up between 8:00 and 8:15, but your name may be placed on a "waiting list" if the balance of leaders and followers is uneven at 8:00. Also, please remember that you must sign in yourself.

$7 member / $12 non-member / $5 student Entrance fee includes the lesson and dance. These prices are in effect until 9 PM when the Allegro Ballroom admission prices take effect.

REMINDER: We are now checking membership cards at the door. We want to make dances more secure and ensure that current members receive the dance discount membership benefit. So make sure to bring your card with you to speed up the process at the register!

The address of the Allegro Ballroom is 5855 Christie Avenue, Emeryville, and is conveniently located off of I-80 next to the Powell Street exit (just past the IKEA and Trader Joe's). Coming from I-80, take the Powell Street exit headed East, turn left on Christie Avenue just past the Denny's, and turn left into the parking lot at the last entrance in front of the strip of buildings. The Allegro is to the back of the strip.

2012 Scholarship Winners

Congratulations to our 2012 Scholarship Winners Sammi Sekhon, Kevin Kane, and Matthew Taylor. The scholarships are given to promising NorCal swing dancers who promote swing by recruiting and encouraging new dancers and generally represent swing well with a generous and positive attitude, among other things.
