Have any of you noticed how weather effects dancing night? I've noticed that this deep freeze we're in here in New England is keeping the dancers away. Darn this New England weather!!
 
it's a shame although it is understandable-- especially if the weather produces dangerous driving conditions. :( I know the bitter cold takes it toll on my motivation to go outside for any reason however it has yet to make a serious impact on my dancing.

So, Boo, are you saying that my first night out in CT this semester may be sparsely attended? :cry: say it ain't so! at any rate, as long as I've got you, your beau, and the Hot Cat Jazz Band I'm happy :D
 
Hey!! The weather is pretty bad in upstate ny, but it only has adjusted my plans a bit. I won't drive an hour or more by myself to dances so fewer of them, but I still do quite a bit of dancing. :)
 
I think weather definitely has an impact on people coming out to dance, but perhaps it only applies to people who are new to dancing. I had a dance scheduled (the first at this venue) on Jan. 9th, and it was sparsely attended. That might have something to do with the fact that the high temperature (a record low for the high temp, by the way) that day was -7 farenheit. I think that is -35 celsius. And that was the high temperature, without taking the wind chill into account!

The people who did come out were already dance addicts, though.

Sagitta, what do you consider to be upstate New York? For me, "upstate" doesn't start until an hour or two north of Albany.

Actually where I live is more correctly referred to as central new york -- the fingerlakes region...ithaca, owego, trumanburg....about 4-5 hours drive from albany. Upstate to me is canton, odensburg....
 
My undergrad was St. Lawrence University in Canton NY. Did a combined degree in cheistry and environmental studies there.

SwinginBoo, are you going to attend that event known as the Boston Tea Party?

I saw the announcement for that on a local message board.
 
I know they have it on Swingmonkey

I think it's in March around the time of Reno Dance Sensation/DF family reunion (or is it just 'union'?)

I graduated SLU in 1990, when were you there?
