I really considered updating my front page every two weeks but I have been told by many folks the message I give each week helps them to look forward to the next week, so I will continue updating weekly. “After striving for a while and making little or no headway, we're tempted to give up. That's why most people never enjoy any significant kind of success. The winners in life realize that lack of progress is not a reason to give up, but rather a reason to adjust the approach. If one way is not working, there are probably a hundred, or a thousand other approaches that haven't yet been attempted.  There is a way to get where you want to go. If the first few attempts fall short, keep looking for another way. Learn what you can from your disappointing results, and then try a different approach.  One must practice being persistent without being stubborn. There's no need to keep doing something that doesn't work. Yet there is no reason to give up. There is a way, and you'll find it when you persist. Finding yourself at a dead end does not in itself prevent you from reaching your destination. There's another road that will take you there. Keep looking and you'll find it.  Reach a little higher today than yesterday. Raise your expectations a little bit more. After all, you're wiser and more experienced than you were even just a day ago. In fact, you now have more knowledge and more experience than you've ever had before in your life.  Even if yesterday was a total disaster, you've at least learned something from it. And if yesterday was full of success, you've learned from that as well. The bottom line is that you're more experienced, more aware of what works and what doesn't work. So reach higher today than you did yesterday. And resolve to reach even higher tomorrow. As time goes on you are continually growing and improving, so you might as well take advantage of that.  Reach higher and you'll attain more. Expect more of yourself, and those expectations will soon become your reality. Each day provides ample opportunity for improvement. So expect to improve. And you will.”

The Jazzee J’s had an exciting weekend.  Although there was no class on Thursday (I have heard over and over again how everyone wants Thursday’s back and believe me I am looking for a venue) we still held our head up high and had a great time.  First we celebrated TKO’s 4^th SwingOut Graduation at On Broadway Club on Friday night.  KO did an excellent job and the next level advanced graduation was fun to watch.   Memorizing a routine is not easy to do.  My wonderful friends, Dominque and Lauren, from Dallas showcased there flava of swingout/west coast dance is elegant style.  On Saturday night I did a mini class before the great sounds of D’Rect Smooth Jazz Band began to play at Rhea’s 2^nd Saturday VIP party.  We celebrated Jazzee Jewel Alma’s birthday.  The house was filled with swingout dancers and west coast dancers.  The band played the right music, the DJ played the right music and we kept the dance floor all night.  If you were not in the house you missed and amazing band (they play every Sunday night at Elmer’s Bar & Grill, 39^th & Lincoln, Okc, Ok) the wonderful food from Alma’s Kitchen and Leo’s Barbeque, the showcasing by Dominque and Lauren from Dallas, the newest line dances, the best freestyle swingout and west coast in Okc and last but not least the magnificent soul train line dancers!!!!  The dance floor was rocking.  Let me thank everyone that came out, especially the men, because without you guys we could not do it!  Love ya!!!

We are postponing graduation until August since there are so many events and vacations are happening in July.  On Saturday we will begin selecting partners so if you plan on graduating in August, please be in attendance.  After class we will have our Open Floor “Ladies’ Choice/Men Choice” and I would also like  Distinguished Kings of Swing - Alexis, Alvin, Avery, Chris, Eugene, Everett, Femi, Dannie, Darrell, Gary, Ira, John, J.T., Kendrick (please come), Larry, Leonard, Mack B., Marvin, Mike F., Mike G., Norman, Rico, Rodney, Trey (please come) and Tyrone (if I left any Jem out, please forgive me).

We would also like for TKO's graduating class to attend. There will be no contest, just choice dance and maybe a little surprise! Class begins at 7 pm and Ladies’ Choice/Men’s Choice open dance floor at 9 pm.  The cost is $5.00.  See you on the dance floor!!!  I must say, nobody cares if you can't dance well.  Just get up and dance.  Practice makes perfect.  To dance is to be out of yourself, larger, more beautiful, more powerful. So dance till the stars come down from the above, Dance, Dance, Dance and you will feel the love!!! - sb

 Until next time, continue to pray, be safe, stay healthy and keep dancing!!!!  -Sandy Brown
