Back before Dawn and I started Flyin’ Footwork, we worked with a group called WBC. This was the group that originally started both the swing dances at UCF and Whirl & Twirl.  Natch (a co-member of WBC) recently dug up some interesting trivia in the old records. For years, Dawn and I have had trouble jogging our memories to remember the exact date of the first swing dance at Whirl & Twirl.  Well, now we know. The records show the date was 3/2/02 and 35 people were in attendance. With the last dance having over 170 people out, I would say Orlando has come a long way! Notice the date is off the normal schedule. I think it took us a time or two to settle into 2nd Saturdays. With a little more digging, we found that the Friday night dances at UCF were started on 2/23/01. On that night, 37 people were present.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane Natch! This is great to add to the local dance history!
