Hello Brian. Would love to be made an admin on the FB page so I can post our Rusty’s Rhythm Club events. Many thanks!
Hi Ron,
OK, done, please check!

Jonathan stout at knotts cancelled 8/20/23.
Hi Brian, just wanted to inform you that since knotts updated their hurricane status on the day of, I’d want to let you know that the event is also canceled. Thank you!
Hi Gordon,
Thanks so much for letting me know! When I checked last night it was still on. The calendar is updated now!

Hi, Brian! I Posted the WRONG Pic on July 8th, and I can’t figure out how to delete the post or change the pic. It should have been the Lil’ Mo & The Dynaflos pic… Can you advise me on what to do? Thanks! Tami
Hey, Brian: You’d should HIGHLIGHT our PBDA May 13th Dance with The Dreamboats—we’re SWAMPED with dancers when they come!! :-)
Thanks Tami! Done!

Brian
Did you get the flyer for THIS SATURDAY MARCH 11th for PBDA’s Wearin’ O’ the Green Swing Dance? I think I sent it, but I don’t see the flyer posted. Let me know, thanks, Brian!
Hi Tami,
Could you upload the flyer here?

Many thanks,

Let me know if you received it again. Thanks, Tami
Hi Tami,
I didn’t get the submission on this site, but I went ahead and found the flyer on Facebook and put it up.
Best,
Brian
That’s so weird. Anyway, thanks for going the extra mile and posting it. I wonder what I’m doing wrong. I’ll try again next week and see what happens (It’s Aileen Quinn & Her Leapin’ Lizards for us next week). Thanks again!
Tami
Hi Brian,
Just an FYI-Atomic Bobbie McGees was on the calendar for 2/26/23 and was not actually happening.Was told it happened earlier in February.
Hi Bridgette,
Ah, thanks for the head’s up!

Dear Swing.LA,
I am interested in taking swing dance classes with you and I was wondering if you have anything happening around West Hollywood where I am based.
I look forward to hearing from you soon

Hi there,
I know this isn’t exactly the right forum, but I’m hoping to find someone who can teach western/country swing in LA and am having trouble. Would you be able to point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Rowan
HI Rowan,
Try posting this request on the SwingDance.LA Facebook page:

The PBDA Calendar Listing only seems to list the UPCOMING Bands, and then (after the events), those band names disappear…can you help with that, Brian?
Hi Tami,
OK, I’ve made an update to preserve events on the Lindy Calendar which are no longer on your site.
The previous behavior was actually by design. Previously, if you deleted an event on your site, it would get deleted on swingdance.la the next day. That was in case you decided to cancel an event, or if you posted one by accident. But, that seems to be an unlikely scenario. Now, scraped events from your site should stay on swingdance.la, even after you remove them from your site, but I’ll monitor it since some debugging may be necessary.
Best,
Brian
Ah, makes sense…Thanks a bunch, Brian! Really appreciate it (and all that you do!!)
Tami
Hello,
I am a swing dancer from Santa Barbara. I was wondering if you would be open to posting Santa Barbara/Ventura swing dance events on here as well?
Emilio
Hi Emilio,
I don’t post events outside of LA and Orange County on the Lindy Calendar, however, feel free to post your event flyer on my Home page below the calendar here:

Thank you! I was thinking of starting something like this for my area. Do you think that I could get some help with getting something like this started. I have some basic website design development skills.
Hi Emilio,
This site is pretty advanced; I custom-coded the calendar and flyer feed in PHP on the home page, as well as a screen scraper that runs every night to get events from certain venues. The rest of the site was done on WordPress and Advanced Custom Fields. For the flyer form, I use Fluent Forms Pro (user-submitted posts). You might want to start with a simple calendar or events plugin for your events calendar. Happy to answer any other questions you might have.
Brian
