Dear All,

We are excited about beginning the Dance Series in Fort Jones this coming Friday (Sept 28th). This season we are going to be running it a little differently. Instead of one week on each dance, we will be spending two weeks, which will give you a better understanding of the steps and also make them easier to remember. If you can’t make the first couple of nights, come later. * More information is below.

We are also starting a youth program at the Sisson School on Mondays (3:00 to 4:00 pm in the school cafeteria). Students from 5th grade to 8th grade levels are attending, but any age is welcome if there is a strong interest. The cost is $35/person for a seven week session. The dates are Mondays, Oct. 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, Nov. 5 and Thursday Nov. 8. If you have any young people or know any young people who would be interested, you can contact us for registration forms.

See you on dance floor this week.

SATURDAY MORNING TECHNIQUE CLASS:

Recreation and Parks District Mt. Shasta (Dudes & Daises Bldg.) September 29
1315 Nixon Rd.
Mt. Shasta, CA

10:00 – 11:00 -Technique Drills in “International Standard & Smooth Style Dances”. Focusing on Lowering, Rotation and Sway which improves your performance in all of the dances.

11:00 – Noon – Amalgamations. This month’s dance: QUICKSTEP (Sept. 1, 8, 15, 22)
VIENNESE WALTZ (Sept. 29)

This class uses basic Bronze (and some Silver) steps to develop and strengthen your ability to dance smoothly and boldly (which, just between you and me, is where the real fun is hidden). The International Technique also applies to American Style dances and will strengthen ones ability to have more power and control when dancing in the American Style.

Because of the long (five Saturdays) month, we will be doing one class of Viennese Waltz to give you a chance to learn the technique and get enough steps to allow you to get around the floor (without getting dizzy).

Cost: $10 per person for two hour session.

Come to the whole series to get the full benefit or just drop in when you can -there are benefits to be gained from each session.
