Newsletter – Oct 23rd 2012
Dear Dancer,
Even though it is almost the end of the month, you can still come to the classes and we will make sure that you leave knowing steps that are fun.
Don’t forget that this is the last of the Samba classes because of the Halloween party next Wednesday night (Oct. 31, 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm). This party is a whole family event with kids under 10 free (adults: $20 in advance at Village Books and the Mt. Shasta Integrative Medicine Facility or $25 at the door). It’s a benefit for the Mt. Shasta Nordic Center and we will be teaching basic dance steps throughout the evening and running the music.
Location: Mt. Shasta B & B, W. A. Barr Road, Mt. Shasta CA. Costumes deeply appreciated but not required.
We will be back at Mt. Shasta Park in the Dudes and Daisies building again this weekend. We look forward to seeing you at the morning Technique class and the Evening Dance Class and Open Dancing/Practice Session. This is a lovely space and we encourage you all to join us there.
See you on dance floor this week.

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.
