LOCATION:

This Friday, December 16th — Brother Yusef is celebrating his 10th year of playing at Downtown Disney!

Since we always dance to his awesome recorded music, and many times he’s come to play at Westie dances, this time we should ALL go to him!

Since Doug is gone and there’s no Where’s Westie this month –
Where’s Westie and SoCal Swing Dance are promptly teaming up for this event!
Let’s all get down to Disney to party and celebrate with Brother Yusef!

Here’s the deal
Where: Downtown Disney — 1580 S Disneyland Dr, Anaheim, CA 9280
When: This FRIDAY — December 16th, 2011
7:00pm – 10:00pm
-This is totally unofficial
-There’s no cover (read: FREE) ..cause we’re outside in the middle of a mall
-We’ll be outside, and it might be a bit chilly. So dress appropriately for the weather! And we’ll be dancing on concrete.
-Brother Yusef takes breaks…so we’ll grab a snack or drink, or something
-This is gonna be awesome and fun, and the music is gonna rock. Probably don’t expect a full on dance experience. Expect a good time chillin with friends, hangin out, listening to music and dancing.
