    Absolutely! We'd love to have you and Holly (and anyone else) coming to the lessons and the dances. We have free lessons on tuesdays from 7-8, and free lessons an hour before the dance on saturdays (also 7-8 ). Come on out and get addicted!

    A few years back, we used to have a bunch of High School students from riverton coming to the dances. They all ended up becoming great dancers as a result. We definately recommend anyone and everyone to come. See you on Saturday.

    Do you know where BYU's campus is? If so just go to the BYU website... they have maps of campus there. http://home.byu.edu/webapp/home/index.jsp Click on A-Z index--> C--> Campus Map. At this point a map will appear. The Wilkinson Student Center is building 93 (it's one of the largest buildings on the map). There's a really big dance floor around the Garden Court (that wierd courtyard thingy) from Jamba Juice (if you have any idea what I'm talking about. Don't know if this helps.

    Not that I will, but lets just say I showed up to the swing thing without a partner, how bad would that be? Do people show up and just dance? or is it kind of like, you gatta have a partner.... Obviously I going to try to but for some strange reason, im almost 0 for 3 asking girls. Guess its a bad week. (Holly can't do it this week) In the case i cant find somone in the next 4 hours im most likely ganna be a third wheel (not a good feeling) yet i still wanna learn to swing better so ill probably come anyway.

    just don't be afraid to ask girls to dance and you'll be fine!

    I'd say it's a lot harder to learn if you're stuck with the same partner every time. Come with a group or by yourself; you're more than welcome and you'll dance a lot if you ask a lot of people to dance.

    Man - A Chemical Analysis

    Element : Man

    Atomic Mass : Accepted as 70. May vary from 50-150 kg.

    : Highly reactive at 150 or higher. (avoid at all costs)

    Quantitative : wavy brown hair, 6' 0" in length,

    though some isotopes can be as short as 4 inches.

    Discoverer : Eve

    Occurance : Found following duel element Wo, often in high

    concentration near a perfect Wo specimen.

    Physical properties :

    1) Obnoxious when mixed with C*H*-OH (any alcohol).

    2) Tends to fall into very low energy state directly after reaction with Wo

    (Snore ... zzzzz).

    3) Gains considerable mass as specimen ages, loses reactive nature.

    4) Rarely found in pure form after 14th year.

    5) Often damaged as a direct result of unlucky reaction with polluted form of the Wo commom ore.

    6) Tarnishes easily. Needs constant polishing and attention

    7) Crusty exterior but may be soft underneath.

    [Emoticon not found] Naturally found in the crude state but may be purified

    9) Simple in structure.

    10)Often found in the gaseous state.

    11)Spontaneous polarity changes relative to surrounding specimens.

    Chemical properties :

    1) All forms desire reaction with Wo, even when no further reaction is

    possible.

    2) May react with several Wo isotopes in short period under extremely

    favorable conditions.

    3) Usually willing to react with what ever is available.

    4) Reaction Rates range from aborted/non-existant to Pre-interaction effects (which tend to turn the specimen bright red.

    5) Reaction styles vary from extremely slow and calm to violent/bloody.

    6) Great affinity for fatty substances.

    7) May react violently under pressure.

    [Emoticon not found] Low boiling point, high melting point.

    9) Attraction to large quantities of iron.

    10)Poorly bonds with other substances.

    11)Pure substances are rarely found except when covalently bonded.

    Storage : Best results apparently near 18 for high reaction rate,

    25-35 for favorable reaction style.

    Uses : Heavy boxes, top shelves, long walks late at night,

    general repairs, free dinners for Wo...

    Tests :

    1) Pure specimen will rarely reveal purity, while reacted

    specimens broadcast information on many wavelengths.

    2) Appearance greatly improves when placed in a sports car.

    3) Easily titrates to yellow under stress.

    4) Never true blue.

    Caution : Tends to react extremely violently when other Man interferes with reaction to a particular Wo specimen. Otherwise very maleable

    under correct conditions.

    As a general rule, it is usually a bad idea to bring someone that might be considered a "date" to a swing dance. This is because you will want to dance with lots fo people, and bringing a "date" locks you into having to dance with them all the time.

    This is true Jared, though I think that if it is made clear beforehand that dancing with other people is both kosher and encouraged, then bringing a date to swing is a good thing.

    make it part of a date... i've done that before. although if i'm there with a date, i make sure to spend a bit more time with my date than with everyone else. i do think it's important for a date to understand that i won't spend the entire night dancing with her. if they wouldn't be comfortable with that, it probably isn't appropriate to take them social dancing as a date.
