Mini Reunion with Solomon Douglas

Mandi

The reunion in January was a wonderful experience and many people have talked about wanting to get together again. As an organizer, one of my only regrets was that Solomon Douglas, dancer, musician, and founder of the Toronto_Lindy YahooGroups among other important contributions to the development of the Toronto Lindy Hop community, was not able to make it. So let’s have another little reunion to mark his visit!

Many of the early dancers remember taking lessons and social dancing events at the Tranzac Club so it’s the perfect spot for this little mini reunion. I’m in the process of confirming the venue now. Your purchase of advanced tickets will help to cover rent and maybe if we have enough interest, some live music too.

Kid-friendly event, kids under 15 can attend for free.

Thanks for your support of this event and we look forward to welcoming Solomon home on April 8th!

Sunday, April 8th
1pm to 5pm
$15
Tranzac Club (TBC) 292 Brunswick Ave, Toronto, ON M5S 2M7

News! Sunday-only tickets suspended until further notice

News

The reunion is starting to fill up!

  • Until further notice, the Sunday-only tickets have been suspended while we work out some logistics.
  • The Sunday-only option may or may not re-open.
  • Sunday brunch is still available with a full weekend pass only.

NB: Depending on the brunch logistics that we determine in the next couple of days, there is a chance that Full Weekend Passes will no longer be available either. So if you’re thinking about participating, now is seriously the time to register for the full weekend.

Oh and by the way…

No big deal but Tyler Yarema has confirmed that he’ll be bringing the following musicians with him on Sunday:

Janice Hagan!!!!
William Sperandei
Scott Neilson
John Meyer
Chris Lamont

Ok, I lied. Totally a big deal! So if you want to come on Sunday, you’d better register for the full weekend before the Sunday options go completely off the table!

And don’t forget:

If you haven’t paid and received confirmation from me, you’re NOT on the list. Any outstanding payments for Sunday brunch must be received immediately.
