Did you miss joining us for Virtual Capital Swing 2021? Did you only tune in after 3pm each day? Then you totally missed this gem of a Workshop Etiquette PSA video by none other than Tara Trafzer, WCS professional extraordinaire and event director for Monterey Swingfest (insert otter pun here). Thank you Tara for putting your love and energy into this <3 Also, PUPPIES!!!!

A wonderful recap of the "Maintaining your JOY for WCS" hour that happened on Sunday with Caitlin Lawson, Mark Endo, and Carlito Rofoli. Thank you Caitlin for putting this write up out there for us to share <3

We were asked if there were other events that allowed people to interact with their fellow dancers, so we will do our best to share what we find. Ben, Tara, and John will share in the good time with you. Enjoy!

Our Facebook event has resources and other info posted from the various discussions, movement session, and DJ dance hours. Feel free to click over to check it out. Click *interested* if you want to see when new info gets added.
