Hey Folks!

We are still looking for ladies and gents who are interested in being a part of The Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown's Battle of the Sexes: a boys against girls team battle.

Want to participate in the 1st ever Battle of the Sexes? Send us a clip of you solo dancing to lindyshowdown@gmail.com
6 girls and 4 more guys will be chosen to work as teams for a prize of $600 (we already have 2 guys) Audience judged. And as usual at ULHS, the contests will be danced to live music. FREE to enter however you have to be approved by ULHS staff. One person per city only.

Mississippi Riverboat Cruise: There may have been some confusion about the Riverboat party on Thursday night. NOTE: THIS DANCE PARTY/CRUISE is sold separate from the regular ULHS weekend ticket. Please pay for this in addition to the weekend ticket. $25 per person. Limited tickets available.

Contests Closed! Revolution(mid-tempo) & Jack n Jill both have wait lists. No entry fee needed to get on the wait list though you must purchase a weekend ticket to get on it.

Showcase Division: We are thrilled people are taking on the challenge of choreographing/performing to the bands playing at ULHS! If you want to do the Choreography division please contact us about music ASAP. Some songs have already been taken.

Teams: Where oh where have all the teams gone?

Questions about any of this and more? Do not hesitate to give us a shout. lindyshowdown@gmail.com

Looking forward to October!~ The ULHS Team

Arrrrgh! Why can't this be in Japan? Seriously, these guys are amazing (the band is the same one that backed Amy Winehouse on Back to Black, and Sharon Jones can BELT). You should all go.

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings
Friday, August 22 @ 8:30pm
MN State Fair Bandshell

Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings make some truly fabulous funk/soul/R&B music. I don't know anything about the "dance floor" (expect concrete) but the show is free with Fair admission.

Check them out at http://www.myspace.com/sharonjonesandthedapkings and then try and tell me you don't want to see them live.

Think we can get a group together?

I don�t think I�ve �officially� introduced myself on here�so hello all!

Handle: FairLadyStar (my name means �fair lady� but you�d have to ask me to explain �star�)
Real Name: Jenny Collins
Birthday: Dec. 14, 1982 (yes, I joined MNL on my b-day in 2007�see inspirational moment)
Age: quarter of a century already
Birth Town: Bloomington, MN but grew up in Sioux Falls, SD
Current Town: Coon Rapids, MN
School: graduated from Northwestern College (MN); B.A. in Communications/Public Relations
Hobbies: besides dancing, I love meeting and getting to know new people, reading, writing, organic cooking, learning, and for anyone who knows me, being a lifestyle promoter of the things I�m passionate about�especially natural health and holistic wellness (which I�ll go back to school for sometime�if dance doesn�t consume all my savings first)
Swing birthdate: June 7, 2007
Lindy birthdate: June 7, 2007
Inspirational Moments: So far, 1) Witnessing my first birthday jam at Tapestry�I�d never seen lindy hop before! I decided right there I was going to learn it so I could manage to get out there for my b-day 6 months later�that�s when I heard about MNL and joined. 2) Performing our solo Charleston solo routine/battle with Dax and JoJo at Sving du Nord�I didn�t really know what I was getting myself into, but it was a lot of fun trying to keep up! 3) The incredible jam that emerged with the Marbles et al at TCRJR! 4) experiencing and/or seeing those unexpected, beautiful moments while out �just� social dancing.
Favorite Quote(s): I�ve been a collector of �favorite� quotes for a long time, so you probably don�t want me to fill this forum with them�unless you really need the bump. But from my �truth in humor� file, here�s a couple:
�Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.� � Mark Twain.
�Diaper backward spells repaid. Think about it.� � Marshall McLuhan

Bummer, I wanted to be there for the lesson but my volleyball team is playing in the final championships this Sunday night! I may be able to come to the dance late.
