Ballroom Newsletter, Siskiyou County – November 4th 2014
Dear Dancer,
When you check out our weekly schedule below, you will notice that we have added a Thursday night class that is an intermediate/advanced class. This class will be open only to our more experienced dancers, those who have had at least a year with us or the equivalent training elsewhere with else-whom(s).
This class will move more quickly than the Wednesday night class (which in turn moves more quickly than the Tuesday night class). If there is any question about whether you qualify or not, please do not hesitate to contact us and ask.
Another change this month: due to conflicting bookings at the Fort Jones Community Center, we will be meeting on Mondays for November and November only (barring any more booking conflicts). Our apologies to anyone who is inconvenienced by this but it can’t be helped.
Finally, keep in mind that now would be a good time to start dancing in earnest to eliminate in advance those Thanksgiving calories. Imagine sitting down to your Thanksgiving dinner knowing that you have already danced off more pounds than you could possibly put back on at a single sitting. Holidays just don’t get much more festive nor bliss more blissful.
Please come join us.
See you on the Dance Floor Dear .

Developing these basic movement skills will improve your performance in, not just this dance, but all of the dances by giving you more control over your balance, timing and power. And that’s just too much fun to miss out on. So give it a try.
