What is an Exchange? Simply put, a lindy exchange is a gathering of swing dancers and musicians from all over the country (and often the world) to celebrate what we love most -- the music and the dancing! Even though we are all about competitions and workshop weekends too, at the Seattl

e Lindy Exchange our focus is on live music and the social dance floor. At the Exchange you can social dance with old friends and new faces until sunrise, sleep in as late as you want, roll out of bed and keep on dancing in the afternoon or sip coffee and enjoy the music of local Seattle musicians. If you're visiting from out of town, the Exchange is a great opportunity to log in a bizillion swing-outs as well as have time to check out those Seattle attractions that have been on your to-do list. From the Underground Tours in Pioneer Square to the Woodland Park Zoo, from the FREE Frye Art Museum in First Hill to coffee cupping at any of the dozens of local roasting establishments, there's tons of places to go in the Emerald City!

We spent some time at this years Seattle Lindy Exchange talking about all the contributions Chazz Young has made to the Seattle dance community over the last 20 years, and wanted to send him a little love on behalf of the scene he has helped foster in so many ways. If any of you are able to donate to Chazz's recovery, he sure could use a little love back in his direction. Follow this link to find out more, and donate if you can!

What a great night last night!!!

A special thanks to Dave Holo and the Holotrad band for their wonderful performance.

If you enjoyed the great DJ breaks last night, that's all due to the wonderful taste in music Chris Chapman has. Chris has been a staple of the Seattle dance community for countless years, and holds regular lessons and a dance every Thursday at the Russian Center. You can find out more about his HepCat Swing productions at www.seattleswing.com

Tonight's entertainment will be the wonderful Tamar Korn and a Cornucopia of talented musicians tearing it up at Washington Hall. Her vintage jazz tone is amazing, and we can't wait to hear her sounds fill up the historic venue.

The late night was a blast as well, we really enjoyed dancing in the 'new' Velocity 2 space (old Value Village). As usual the the Careless Lovers put on an amazing show, and DJ Jose Tello spun his great tunes late into the night. The floor is so fun to dance on, come check it out at tonight's late-night dance!!

Tonight's DJ breaks will be by Rory Froschauer and Tomick Necessary, who have been represented lindy hop very hard down in Tacoma. You can listen to them DJ regularly at T-Town Swing, and on Swing Time on LASR online. They also recently hosted the Union Station Anniversary dance down in Tacoma, which was a huge success.

If you're looking for some laid back fun, come join us right now at Cal Anderson park for a picnic and some casual jamming.

See you tonight!
