| The West County Swing Dance Club, St. Louis, Missouri . . . . . . Is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Imperial Swing Dancing serving the Metro, St. Louis, Missouri area. . . . Imperial Swing Dancing was first developed at a local St. Louis nightclub called 'Club Imperial' and has been said to be a refined version of the Jitterbug. It evolved into a combination of East Coast steps with West Coast swing moves danced in the slot that includes wraps and spins. |

| Midwest Swing Dance Federation Picnic/Dance May 4, 2008 If you were at the picnic then you know how much fun was had and what a success it was. If you didn't come then you truly missed a fun Sunday afternoon. The weather was fantastic and so was the food! No one should have left there hungry. You'll want to check out the picture page for pics of the event. And congratulations to WCSDC member Joyce Stukenberg who won a cruise for 2 on the January 2009 ABA Dance Cruise!! |

-- DANCE FLOOR ETIQUETTE REMINDER --
The dance floor at Concord gets a bit crowded but by remembering
just 4 things we can dance a little easier...

- Dance in slot. The floor at Concord is wood so the slot goes the same direction as the
floor boards. Not sure what slot is? Ask any of the instructors or board members and
they will explain. - Occupy space on the dance floor only when dancing. We all love to talk to fellow
dancers but please move off the dance floor to have your conversation. - Go around the edge of the floor when trying to reach the other side. Lately
we've noticed some people cutting through the center of the floor during a song to get to
the other side. Please be courteous to the other dancers. - Place your drinks on the tables, not the floor! It's crowded and drinks sitting on the
floor or the step are easily knocked over. Dance shoes have suede bottoms and once
they are wet it makes it difficult to dance and easy to twist an ankle.
