Newsletter – Nov 13th 2012
Dear Dancer,
Brand new venue this Saturday evening! We will be teaching a four class (two hours per class) series at the Siskiyou County Airport starting on Saturday November 17th. The subsequent meeting dates will be Dec. 1st, 15th and 29th.
It is being hosted by Len Ball for the flying club he belongs to, but they have graciously extended an invitation to all the rest of our students and anyone else who might be interested, so pass the word along.
This will be a beginning class, and the dance requested for the whole session is Foxtrot, so if you have always wanted to learn how to dance or are just beginning or if you already dance and want to strengthen and develop your style, this will be a good class for you.
Time: 5PM to 9PM (Lessons go from 5 to 7 and open, practice dancing until 9pm)
Where: Nina Ortega’s Hanger, 3731 Lower Hanger [sic] Road, off Perimeter road and Airport Blvd. Len will have up
signs or you can call him at 530-643-7582 for direction.
Cost: 40 bucks for 8 hours (Best value ever, better then a movie, and you will be able to dance out the door at the end)
Please come, the more the merrier.
See you on dance floor this week.
