{USC} Square Dance with a LIVE BAND!

Let's go square dancing Downtown near USC! ($20) The 16th ever Los Angeles Old Time Social is happening on May 16th. There are beginner-friendly workshops throughout the day and musicians and folk enthusiasts from up and down the west coast come into town that weekend. Some of them will be putting on a square dance from 7:30-10pm, which is what we'll be attending. Different musicians and callers will be rotating in throughout the night, and we'll keep dancing. Never square danced? Don't worry... all dances are taught. Fun guaranteed! No partner necessary, this is social dancing :) Everyone willing to participate is welcome! Bring your friends -- the more the square-ier! Straight and LGBTQIA+ friendly. We'll meet up there at 7:30pm to watch (and eat) musical cakes before the dancing gets underway. SCHEDULE: 6-7ish - doors 7:00pm - flatfooting workshop (included with evening program admission, if you're interested) 7:30pm - musical cakes + group meet + socializing + beginner-friendly dancing out back (outside) DIRECTIONS: Punch "Velaslavasay Panorama" into maps and it should get there easy. 1122 W 24th St, Los Angeles, CA 90007 PARKING: Street parking. Double-check posted signs. MEETING UP: We'll meet up by the cakes around 7:30pm. (Once you go in, just keep heading back, go out into the back garden, back through the ornate gate, into the courtyard+kitchen. If you get lost, just ask anyone to point you toward the cakes.) If you're late and miss the group meet, once you get to the cakes area, ask anyone to point you to Lindsay, and we'll introduce you to the rest of the group. DRINKS/FOOD INFO: You may bring your own food and water bottle. In years past, they have had donation-based canned/bottled drinks on site. I'm unsure what they will have this year. COST: $20 for the evening program (see ticket link in comments). There is also a limited number of discounted all-day passes still available for $45 (at the time of posting this) if you plan to attend more than the evening program. WHAT TO BRING: • Comfortable shoes for pavement • Layers (the dance will be outside) • Water bottle • Pre-purchased ticket receipt on your phone • Cash for drink donations Tips for the LADIES: * Dresses are fun for twirling, but pants are cool too :) * It's best to wear shoes that won't easily slip off * It's ok (even encouraged) to ask guys to dance :) * Ladies are always right, so ladies are always on the right when dancing (though you are no way limited to dancing the "lady" role--anyone can dance any role) Hope you'll join us!

Unforgettable Croatia! The Pearls of the Dalmatian Coast - Split, Dubrovnik ...

Intermission is Over - Time for More Jazz

Let's hang out again for another night of jazz in the Grand Lobby of the historic Culver Hotel in Culver City. (And don't forget to check out the swanky upstairs bar, the Velvet Lounge.) The hotel is located in a plaza where you can take a small stroll to Culver Studios for a picture in front of the mansion featured in *Gone With the Wind*, or traverse the Culver Steps directly across from the studio, or get an ice cream around the corner at Salt & Straw. There's also a parking structure under the plaza with an entrance right next tot he hotel. The band starts playing at 8:00, so we'll congregate by the couches next to the piano at 7:30 and mingle and get to know each other. When you get here, just look for a a group of guests standing near the musicians who keep asking "Is this the Meetup?" That's us. So come on by for another evening of great music, making new acquaintances, or seeing old ones (if you were here for the first event). Hopefully we'll have another swinging turnout like we did back in March. Hope to see you there.
