There is no Saturday Swingout on November 28. It’s Nuit Blanche, go out and enjoy the craziness (or stay in and avoid the crazy, up to you).

Oct 5 there is a ballroom event at Ted’s. We will have our sessional classes as normal, but times will shift to start classes at 6:30pm and 7:30pm respectively. There will be no drop-in class or social dance that night.
