Ballroom Newsletter, Siskiyou County & Northern California – June13th 2022

Dear All,

 

Home again, home again, jiggety-jig . . . only there’s to be absolutely no jiggety-jigging for a few weeks yet.   I brought Peggy home last Friday afternoon, where she is now convalescing nicely.  It is going to be an uphill slog, of course, but we anticipate full recovery, though not as fast as we would have otherwise presumed.  But we are good slogging.

She thanks you all for the well-wishes and prayers, and she is grateful for all the support you have all so lovingly bestowed upon her.  We are both indebted to each and every one of you for your positive energy and will do our damnedest to remain amongst the living for at least long enough to finish all your training and one day send you off into the world dancing (and we have been known to work up quite the impressive amount of damnedestness!).

Due to her inability to remain seated when there is music to dance to and corrections to be made, Peggy won’t be attending classes for a couple of weeks so I (Rick) will be conducting classes alone this week and possibly next (and possibly the week after that).  If you can survive the unedited (by Peggy) version of our teaching, I promise you that you will still learn as much.

But she may rally sooner than expected and you may see her sooner.  Definitely not this week, but keep your eyes open and your bookies alerted for future appearances.

We will review the Country Two-Step and add a few steps on Wednesday and review the Cha-cha and add more steps on Thursday. Classes should proceed apace (so to speak).

Looking forward to seeing you all there.

 

Cheers,

 

Rick and Peggy (yay!)

p.s.  We have relaxed Mask Protocols..  We will encourage the un-vaccinated to do what you feel is best for yourselves and will happily don our own masks when dealing with you specifically should you so desire.  Otherwise, we are all on our own, now, as so-called adults should be.  Make your decisions accordingly but make them based on real information.  Don’t be afraid to wear them, but don’t feel that you must.

 

p.p.s.    What do you call it when The Lone Ranger takes you out for dinner and a movie?  A “masked man date”!
