Good morning hoppers!



Here’s the swinging’ news for this week!



*Swing events in Luxembourg*

-       *Social dancing with Shag taster tonight*! We are back at Scott`s
pub and there will be a 2nd edition of a Shag taster with Freya and Ilias
from 19h45 to 20h45. After the taster, the floor is open for our swingouts!

following the regular schedule (including Thursday 10th). Come and say
goodbye to Alex!





*Swing events in Quattropole Region*



THE *3rd QUATTROPOLE EXCHANGE* IS ALMOST HERE! Opening party
<https://www.facebook.com/events/166909917349925/> will be in Trier on
Friday 18th. Check out the detailed program here
<http://www.quattropole-swing.com/program.html>.

For *Luxembourg*, we are working on a great program! And we are delighted
to have the *Swing Shouters* playing at our party Saturday night. You don’t
know the band? Check them out here

During the exchange, dancers from around Europe will come to Luxembourg
(and the other cities). What could be better than staying with locals? If
you live in Luxembourg area and can spare a bed, blow up mattress, sofa,
giant bean bag, or even just some floor space (for the more adventurous),
then we would really love to hear from you! Not only do you make some new
friends, but you get to share our lovely city with them, and then maybe
even get to share theirs with them in the future!

It’s just for one night (May 19th to May 20th). Our Lindy Hoppers will not
expect room service at your house or a fancy hotel kind of situation. Just
somewhere to sleep, a friendly face and maybe a cup of coffee in the
morning.

If you can offer *hosting*, please email us on info at swingdance.lu
