[03/23/17]   Tonight's lesson will cover breaking apart 6 count patterns into more rhythmic, fluid dancing. Be comfortable breaking repetitive move patterns and find alternatives to counting steps. Hope to see you all there as we get ready for the workshop weekend in CO Springs!

[02/17/17]   Hey everyone, come dance with us tonight and learn the ever-popular, Shim Sham! We will be teaching this line dance tonight at our weekly dance. For those of you who may already know the Shim Sham, we will also be offering a slew of tips and tricks to liven things up. The lesson starts at 8 PM and we hope to see you all there!

[02/02/17]   Hey everyone,

Tonight is our weekly dance and we hope to see all of you there!

Not only is JA a great place to meet and hang out with your friends, its also a great learning opportunity. We make every effort to customize the weekly lesson for our attendees. If its learning to follow, lead, switch roles, practice choreography, or pick up new moves, we can help! Come let us know what you're interested in us teaching and we'll do our best to help!

See you tonight!

[01/02/17]   Hey everyone! Sorry it's been a minute since we've posted but we just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who came out on New Years!! We had a great time and hope you all did too ☺ We really appreciate you guys supporting us. We hope that 2017 treats you well and we look forward to dancing with you throughout the year!

[12/08/16]   Hey Everyone!
Tomorrow is your last opportunity to dance for this semester! Come to Hokona cellar for your weekly 7 pm lesson followed by 8 pm social dancing. Rumor is there is a chance of holiday swing music being played tomorrow. See you there! 🎄❄️⛄

[11/22/16]   Hey Everyone!

There will be no JA this week because of Thanksgiving!
We hope you all have a great break and enjoy your family and friends! Hopefully catch up on some homework too since there is only 2 weeks left of the semester!
This means there are only 2 more JA dances so we hope to see you all next Thursday!!

Have a good break :)

[10/12/16]   Hey everyone! A reminder that there will be no dance this week due to Fall Break. Take the time to relax and recuperate for the next stretch of the semester and we'll see you back next week!

Hey Guys, we are very excited to see you tonight at JA's weekly dance. A reminder that our dance is now at Hokona Hall's cellar. It is a great dance venue with a disco ball, seating area, and plenty of space. If you need help getting there, here's a map to refer to. Remember that all are welcome at our dances and we hope to see you there!

[09/22/16]   Hey everyone! We are very happy to announce that we offically have Hokona cellar for our dance tomorrow night. So come take advantage of the wood floors and the disco ball with us. As always, the lesson is 7-8 and the social dance is 8-11. Free for students and $4 for community members. Hope to see you there! :)

[09/07/16]   Hello again!

We are happy to announce that JA will be meeting for the first time this year THIS THURSDAY (August 8th) in the SUB's FIESTA ROOM (on the third floor)!! We will have a basic east coast lesson from 7-8 and a social dance from 8 until 10.
Please note that this will not be our permanent meeting place and we have made progress in securing Hokona Cellar.

We will be dancing on carpet so keep that in mind. Also remember that you DO NOT need to have any experience in dancing or a partner to come join us. If you cannot make it right at 7, please come any way and we can give you a quick crash course on the basic step. We want you to bring your friends and come enjoy the music with us!

If you have any questions, please let us know and we will get back to you as soon as possible!!

Hope to see you on Thursday!!

[09/05/16]   Hey everyone! So we've made progress with securing Hokona Hall again for this year however, the earliest we could use the space is still 3 weeks away! We were wondering if you guys would be willing to TEMPORARILY meet somewhere else so we could at least start dancing and having our lessons? We'd probably be somewhere in the SUB and there is a large chance that we'd be dancing on carpet. If you are interested in this at all, LIKE this post so we can gauge interest before we proceed....
Thanks so much guys and we hope to see you soon!!

Come say hi to Maddy and I for the last hour of the activity fair!! We're by Dane Smith!

[08/22/16]   Hey all you lovely people! School is officially back in session which means that JA will be starting back up soon!! This Thursday is the Activity Fair on campus and we're looking for some people to swing by any time between 10 and 2. One of the goals for this upcoming year is to get more students to come out and we need as much help as we can get! So help us work the booth or come say hi!
Message Maeghan Plaisance or Maddy Cole about volunteering and we'll see you there :)

[05/05/16]   Thank you all for a great semester! It was an awesome year and we accomplished a lot with your help.

Jitterbugs Anonymous will not be meeting anymore until the start of the Fall Semester at UNM.

[04/13/16]   Thank you everyone who attended Sunday's dance and contributed to the DJ Battle. The event was a blast with fantastic music and great dancing all around (not to mention birthday cake).

An amazing $166 was raised during the fundraiser. Our officers and club members want to thank all of you for your support while trying to make our goal.

Thanks to your help, JA will be attending 505 Stomp this year!

[02/11/16]   Hey everyone, just a reminder that our dance tonight is at 9 PM.

There will not be a lesson tonight, only a dance and it will be at Rhythm Dance Company off of Central and Madeira St.

For those of you who haven't been to Rhythm Dance Studio yet, be aware that it is held in a office-like complex on the third floor. Look for the Jitterbugs Anonymous Banner outside.

See you all tonight!

[12/03/15]   Hey guys!

Tonight is your last chance to come out to JA for the rest of the semester! Hopefully you can all make it out and take a break from studying for the night! Like always were meeting at 8 pm in Hokona Cellar.

Also good luck on finals everyone! You got this!
