Swing Maui Open Meeting – Wednesday, May 1st, 2013, 7:30pm @ Three’s in Kihei.

We need new input and fresh energy and ideas to carry on as an organization. If you are interested in participating or taking a lead role in Swing Maui then please let us know of your interest or come to the meeting on Wednesday, May 1st, 2013, 7:30pm @ Three’s in Kihei.

The current officers and board members will be stepping down from their leadership positions and we as a group will be selecting new officers to run the organization.   Mark, Jason, and Stacey (currently President, VP, and Sec-Treas. respectively) will be around as advisory members, but we need new leadership to take swing dancing on Maui to it’s best!

Now is your chance to not only get your opinion heard, but to act on it as well!
Want more West Coast swing on Maui? Want a different venue in a closer town? Become a member of the Board of Directors and steer us in that direction!
If you are interested in joining up – there are a few things you should know:

Swing Maui was started to encourage and develop swing dancing here on Maui. This mainly includes teaching people to dance, organizing workshops, and giving opportunities for dancing. The specific purpose for which this corporation is organized is to provide classes and workshops to teach the art of swing dance, lindy hop, and variations thereof.

In the past few years, we have developed Swing Maui into a program that has tools that enable anyone with the opportunity to teach classes. These include our website, calendar, email list, etc. As well as liability insurance, BMI/ASCAP recognition through the National FastDance Association, and working relationships with various venues around the island.
Again, if you are interested in teaching, organizing, taking a leading role in Swing
Maui or just wanting to learn more, then we will see you at the meeting on Wednesday, May 1st, 7:30pm @ Three’s in Kihei.

If you cannot make the meeting I look forward to hearing from you via call or email anytime before May 1st.

Hey Maui!

There is a special Big Island swing workshop next month with Marcus & Baerbl from Germany! From Andie on the Big Island:

This is their 11th year coming to Hilo!  Looks like ours is the only workshop scheduled in Hawaii, and we’d like all the Maui dancers to know they’re welcome.  We have classes for all levels–some for newbies (the 2 Char classes need no experience); some for people with some dance experience but not necessarily Lindy Hop (dips & drops, fancy footwork), and even a class that non-dancers will enjoy on the history and evolution of Lindy Hop!  Plus classes for intermediate Lindy and Bal dancers, of course.

There is a discount for off-island dancers, and with a little notice we can probably find a bed for guest dancers.

Thanks for helping to spread the word!

Andie
