Sunday, March 23rd – Swing Dance Practice Session!
Mike & Mary Richardson always look forward to going out to dance …. but time devoted to practice is equally important! In fact, 
the more we dance (and we’ve been dancing since 1999), the more we’ve learned about the importance of taking time to practice!
That’s what these Sunday Practice Sessions are about: an opportunity to work on your swing dancing, with great swing music, on the best dance floor in Lexington!
o Doors open, 6:15.
o 6:30-9:30 pm – Lots of great swing music for your dancing (and listening) enjoyment, DJ’d by Mike Richardson of the Hepcats.
o This is a practice session, so Mike the DJ takes requests. Better yet, if you have a favorite song you want to dance to – bring it – and we’ll play it! Recommend you bring an actual CD disc, or MP3 player (with headphone jack type port) as the media.
o $5, pay at the door (cash or check). Note: admission is free to this dance for students that are taking any of the Hepcats Winter 2025 class series! Please bring your own water / refreshments.
Location: the Hepcats rent the local Arthur Murray Dance Studio for many of our events, to include this dance. The address is 1801 Alexandria Dr., Suite 103, Lexington, KY; in Gardenside Shopping Center, across from Kroger.
