Exciting News! New Venue, New Classes, and a Big Thank You!

We're thrilled to share some fantastic updates about the Colonial Heights Swing Dance Club!

First, the good news about our fundraising efforts:

We're so close to our goal of $4,500 for the SnapLock portable dance floor! Thanks to your generous contributions, we're currently at $3,950. We're hopeful that we'll be able to order and receive the floor before the end of December.

New Venue and Class Schedule:

To accommodate our new dance floor, we're excited to announce that we'll be moving our classes to the Colonial Heights Optimist Building starting in January 2025. This new venue will allow us to make some exciting improvements to our class offerings:

• Earlier Start Time: Classes will now begin at 6:00 PM, giving you more time to enjoy the evening.
• Extended Beginner Lesson: The beginner lesson will be extended to an hour and a half, from 6:00 to 7:30 PM.
• Flexible Class Structure: The Optimist Club is graciously allowing us to set up the dance floor on Wednesday evenings and leave it up until Thursday evenings. This means we can offer both Wednesday and Thursday night classes at this convenient location.

Here's the new class schedule for the next 6-week series:

Wednesday Nights (Starting January 22, 2025)

• 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM: Beginner Basic Swing Dance
• 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM: Beginner to Intermediate Carolina Shag

Thursday Nights (Starting January 23, 2025)

A Heartfelt Thank You:

We want to express our sincere gratitude to the Colonial Heights Moose Lodge for allowing us to use their space for the past year. We appreciate their support and wish them all the best in their future endeavors.

We're excited about the future of the Colonial Heights Swing Dance Club and can't wait to see you on the dance floor!

Best regards,

An update on a New Dance Floor for Colonial Heights Swing Dance Club

Exciting News! We're thrilled to announce our plans to purchase a Snaplock portable dance floor for the Colonial Heights community. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we're one step closer to making this dream a reality.

Our Vision

Our goal is to create a valuable asset for the local dance community by establishing the Colonial Heights Swing Dance Club as a 501c(7) nonprofit organization. This will enable us to:

• Own the dance floor: The floor will become a club asset, ensuring its long-term availability.
• Manage club finances: We'll establish a board and a checking account to handle business transactions efficiently.
• Offer rentals: The dance floor will be available for rent to the public for private events, dances, parties, and more.

How Rental Income Will Be Used:

1. Reimbursing Donors: If requested by our donors, our top priority is to repay the generous individuals who have contributed to this project.
2. Funding Club Activities: Once initial funds are reimbursed, we'll allocate remaining income to support club events, trips, and the search for a dedicated dance facility.

Join Us in Making a Difference

Your continued support is essential to the success of this project. Together, we can create a vibrant dance community and provide a top-notch facility for everyone to enjoy.
