For all of you old school dancers who don’t come out anymore and you new school dancers keeping Lindy Hop alive, let’s swing it like it’s 1999.

Come join us for a great night of dancing and hanging out at the 9:20 Special on Thursday, September 22nd.

DJs Jesse Miner and Manu Smith will be spinning the night away.

Get ready for some classics.

You might be Old School SF if:

You can name the Three Amigos

Hush Puppies were really trendy for the regular world but you just wore them for dancing

Took your first class from Johnny & Carrie, or from a guy wearing a snake around his neck

You danced at LitP on the bandshell, in the rain (and one time, in the snow)

You started rock climbing after trying it during the exchange party at Mission Cliffs

You danced with someone wearing roller skates

You remember when hula lindy referred to using a hoop

You wore bleyers or blochs

You’ve been in or at the Dog House Talent Show

You were Live at the 9:20 Special for Barbara Morrison

Come by yourself or bring some friends with you for this amazing night full of prizes and performances! This is a great opportunity for people who are interested in learning about swing dancing, and there’s something for everyone:

The Dancers’ Den is a Lindy Hop, Charleston, and Swing Dance venue with lessons and social dancing, and is located near the UC Berkeley campus every Wednesday.

If you’re interested in learning more about the Dancers’ Den, feel free to visit us at: http://berkeleydancersden.com/

I’ll be compiling information on new and existing venues, so if you know of one, or run one, feel free to send in info via the Contact page.

As I slowly build back up the site and dig through the archives, I will expand the site.

Thanks!

So you may have been visiting out of habit lately and saw that we were down for quite a while (thank you to those who emailed to let this busy admin know).

And now you’ve noticed some changes.

Well, here’s the skinny”

The original web host on which SwingTalk was hosted recently performed some type of upgrade to their server which then caused the old forum software to break.

And, yes, that software was OLD, circa 2003 — so yeah, if computer years is anything like dog years, then we’re talking ancient!

Anyhow, I finally took this incident as the opportunity to move the site to one of my other hosts and to install newer software, and so here we are.

I have some ideas on what to do here, and hope to implement them in the days and weeks to come.

If you have any ideas or would like to contribute, feel free to leave a comment.

Thanks!
